WHO: Helena and Ella
WHAT: Pre-dinner preparations of their own
WHERE: 1104 and then out
WHEN: Wednesday evening
Helena hadn’t tried sneaking out like this since high school. So much to consider, so many bases to cover just in case someone was suspicious. It was almost too much, but the prospect of having dinner with Vlad, Ella and Daniel as well, was something she deemed well worth the effort.
Earlier that day she told Peter she was going out with Ella, a mid-week girl’s night on the town. He didn’t even think anything of it at first, wishing her good time as she went about the rest of their afternoon. He did stop her for a question, making her slightly nervous, but she breathed a sigh of a relief when he only inquired if Kiki was going too. She could hear the quiet hope in his voice and gave him a crushed look, saying that it wasn’t really Kiki’s scene. It was a general enough answer, one that he understood immediately as he came to his own conclusions of what the night would entail. After that he didn’t ask many more questions.
By the time the evening arrived, the fates remained firmly on her side. Peter was completely engrossed with the video game he was playing. She could hear his cries of victory and defeat coming from the living room. Kiki wasn’t around. At this time of night it could’ve been a date, or a night out on the town, or even just a smoke break, now that Helena asked them all to resume taking their breaks outside of the apartment.
She almost rushed to the door at the knock but she managed to keep her excitement under wraps. “I’ll get it,” she called out, her voice dipping lower when she passed Peter and saw he was on a headset. When she opened the door Helena was all smiles and a simple black dress. "I just need to get my coat." She opened the door for Ella and went around to the closet. "Pete? Ella's here so..." she called out although his back was to them. If Ella announced her presence that would've been helpful too, but it looked like he was preoccupied with what was on the screen. "...We'll be going then?" She gave Ella a slight shrug.
