Kyra was a little apprehensive about attending the gala. She didn't have many friends these days and there didn't seem to be much reason to bother attending an event where she was sure to be bored. But Penny was going and Kyra knew it'd be better than sitting home alone and moping. She needed to start her life over, even if it was turning out to be the hardest thing she'd ever done.
It was far too crowded to even bother trying to find Penny and Kyra didn't want to be totally dependent on her. So instead she lingered against a wall, looking hopelessly bored and out of place. She would stay for an hour and if she wasn't having fun by then, she'd go home and to bed. Merlin. She was pathetic.
