Susan loved big functions like this. They gave her a chance to dress up, to meet people, and to just have a little fun. She was actually considering bidding in the auction but she had no clue yet who she'd bid on. She'd have to see how things went.
Looking around the room, Susan noted a handful of fairly prominent men and women in the room. She made note of them and filed that note away. She'd have to make a point to bump into to some of them later that night. She smoothed down her dress and went in search of a drink. She procured herself a glass of white wine and situated herself in a spot that let her survey the room.
