Effie had temporarily abandoned Bruce (honestly, she loved him and wanted to keep him calm...but she was here to socialize! And her hermit husband was kinda crimping that...slightly...just a little bit...okay so a lot but she wouldn't say it to him!).
Sipping on another glass of champagne, she made her way to a man she didn't know, offering him her hand. "Hi! I'm Effie Nashton-Banner, it's nice ta meet'cha!"
