"YO! MORRISON!" Patience could be just as loud as Gwen when she wanted to be. It was one reason they were best friends. They could be so obnoxious that no one else wanted the title.
Of course, she was all up in Gwen's face as soon as the words left her lips and she pulled the other girl in by looping an arm around her waist. "Get your ass in here and calm the hell down. Well, at least get your ass in here. Don't know if the other's possible. And glad you came, Marlowe. Someone's gonna need to keep the skank in line."
She closed the door behind them and then turned to greet Chloe, Nica and Lucy. "Good to see you too," she smiled at Nica and even - shock of shocks - enfolded Lucy in a warm little hug. Had someone been hitting the booze while cooking?
"Dinner will be ready in just a bit. Help yourself for now. There's appetizers in the dining room, wine. Beer's in the kitchen and the harder stuff...Pat's playing bartender tonight."
