Clara set her drink down, angling her head towards the voice. “I went to school with the bride,” she explained, offering a smile. “Secondary. You?”
She didn’t like weddings. Or, more accurately, she didn’t like all the people that came with weddings - the crowd was just a little too loud, a headache already blooming behind her eyes so early into the night. She did, however, know better than to remain silent all night, not interacting with people would surely make her stick out. The woman had also been sat alone, so Alice didn’t feel all too bad about initiating a conversation, even if her opening line was probably one her newfound conversational partner had heard too many times that evening. “Apparently, I own the groom’s favourite cafe.” Corner of her mouth twists into a soft smile in response, hand coming up to rub the back of her neck. “I didn’t expect to get an invitation. It’s a nice wedding though, I think. I don’t think I’ve ever been to one before - I’m a bit lost.” Decides to stop before her rambling can pick up anymore speed, knows when the habit was about to rear up again.
