Christine and OTA Christine had been looking forward to tonight. To be honest, she had been bored and aside from working and some trips to the library, she hadn't found much to do. She'd talked to Jim a couple of times and he was supposed to meet her here but so far she hadn't seen him. The place was crowded though so he could be anywhere. Moving through the crowd, she said hello to the people who greeted her, thinking to herself that she certainly couldn't say that the natives weren't friendly. They were that in fact almost too friendly.
She picked up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and walked over to a brightly decorated table and sat down. She was alone for the moment and not the least bit bothered by it. Christine loved to people watch and there were certainly plenty of people to watch. In fact she was rather amused by a couple of the outfits she saw on some of the ladies. Laughing to herself, she took a sip of her drink, wondering if anyone would come over and join her.
