Imogen had spent the majority of her night so far drinking, chatting to her friends and trying to find Chloe to show her what she was wearing - sadly, though, so far she hadn’t seen the girl. Despite being in a house full of people she absolutely detested, Imogen was actually enjoying herself. She hadn’t seen Emilia yet, and figured that she was probably still putting the finishing touches to her costume. She’d been talking to Stephen - whose outfit was particularly amazing - for a while, but she’d gone to get a drink from the kitchen and got caught up chatting to someone she recognised from nowhere other than rehab. She’d been going there on a twice-weekly basis for a good few weeks now, and she hated to admit it but it was actually quite helpful. She got to talk to a therapist about her problems without feeling like she was being judged, and she’d actually made a couple of friends there too. She wasn’t particularly keen on the group sessions, because she didn’t really want to be sharing anything personal with a circle of strangers, but it was a small price to pay for something that was otherwise a real benefit to her.
After a good 20 minutes of conversation, which finished with Imogen swearing the other person to secrecy about her going to rehab, she emerged from the kitchen with a new drink in hand, and her eyes scanned around the room, trying to make out Stephen’s ridiculous wig in the crowd of people. His outfit was certainly very noticeable, but she couldn’t see him in the living room. As she wandered around the house, she saw a door leading out to the conservatory, and when she walked in she saw Tim in there. Pausing in the doorway, she wondered whether she should turn around and go back inside. She’d already spoken to him a little bit tonight, and while things had been slightly awkward, she hadn’t hated it as much as she thought she would. In a way, she was sort of glad he was there, even though she wasn’t really sure why. Deciding against leaving the room, she slowly walked over to him and smiled. He was sat on one of the sofas so Imogen took a seat beside him, making sure to keep a safe distance between them. “’Iya,” she said, taking a sip from her cup. “Ya enjoyin’ yaself, then?”
