Isabel and Alex had arrived sans infant for the evening. Jude was a particularly mild-mannered baby, but it still didn't seem the best atmosphere for a baby, so she'd left him in Jamie's care for the evening.
Having not really had an opportunity to get dressed up in awhile, she'd maybe gone a bit overboard with an expensive dress and heels, dramatic makeup, and her hair styled in large waves that fell down her back. She examined her manicured nails while they waited for Serena's guest of honor to arrive. When the door chime announced Jessica's presence, Isabel wasted no time.
Up and on her feet, Isabel gave Serena and Jess a moment to greet one another, and then she was right there, hand extended. "Hi Jessica, I'm Isabel."
