Re: 8:00 PM
Her bosses had let her know that she should make an appearance. Someone from the office should go and make good with all the soldiers and they had decided that she made the perfect 'ambassadors'.
And with decided they'd told her if she didn't go she could look elsewhere. And she did need to eat. She didn't plan on staying to long. These dances where far to loud for even her own good and she had no love to stay here and be alone.
Never the less she had worn one of her better dresses. It was floor length red dress with flowers embroidered on it. One of her favorites. She brushed it down as she moved into the meeting hall.
She smiled to the gentleman at the door before she moved inside. She wasn't enjoying this but she'd do her duty. If only for a few minutes.
