Who: Sophia and Michelle What: ward meets guardian When: Sat. evening Where: Red Pepper Rating: TBD
One minute, Sophia was running away from the ball, loathing everything about this night. Her first ball, where some man she didn't even like bought her like damn chattel. Women possessed fewer rights than a horse and for one brief second the young woman thought her friend might claim her but someone she hated paid a more handsome sum. She'd just exited, looking for a place to hide.
Then suddenly more lights than she'd ever imagined assaulted her eyes. A moment later a woman in a suit with pants (which gave Sophia pause) appeared and explained everything.
Finally her new guardian showed up and they'd walked in silence to a food place while Sophia tried to make sense of where she'd appeared.
