Social Gathering

Edith held her breath as they stepped into the hall. Suddenly, it felt as if their surroundings turned quiet and everyone was turning their heads at them. Her heartbeat escalated and Edith started to get a little panic.

A warm palm clasped over hers and Edith tilted her head to meet Neil's smiling face. Her heart calmed down quickly and Edith tightened her grip on his arms.

Once he was sure that his silly woman was more at ease, Neil led her inside. The guests approached him to greet him while sending Edith a questioning look. Neil left the crowd and headed towards a corner where a group of young men gathered.

One of them noticed that Neil was heading over and quickly notified the others. Suddenly, the group of young men turned their heads to look at them. The man on the center walked over and patted Neil on his shoulder.

"I thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me. Neil Mo, I did not expect that you would really show up today," the man said.
