Laurel & Susan
It had been some time since Susan had been to any kind of bonfire like this, since the archery group hadn't met as regularly in recent months as they did the previous year, but now she was glad she came. She had already eaten and taken a walk along the shore, and now she was walking back towards the fire to sit and relax. There weren't too many open places, but she spotted an empty chair and walked over.
Speaking softly so as not to surprise the woman in case she was asleep, Susan said, "Do you mind if I sit here?"
