Chapter 13: More than Just Champagne

I walk down a small flight of stairs, filing in behind the other guests down into the unknown. Various ooo's and ahh's fill the air as the stairs come to an end and I enter the room. A dome of mosaic glass constructs the ceiling. Fish swim above me as I make my way out of the doorway and farther into the room. More sculptures and artwork line the walls, all of them with an aquatic theme. Round tables in dark blue linens have been placed around the room and I look down at my ticket in search of my table number.

"Heeeeey."

There it is. The most obnoxious voice on planet Earth has finally made an appearance. I feel an arm wrap around my shoulders, Zelia's boob pressing into my rib as she hugs me tight.

"Allie," she slurs, releasing me from her death grip. "Where've you been? Saz and I have been looking everywhere for you."
