Ernie and Hannah
Hannah was lucky Ernie wasn't around to see her roll her eyes. She watched as he headed across the room and noted how even after he'd spotted her he continued to focus on the room in general. She had to admit that as much as she wished Ernie's job didn't take so much of his time she couldn't help but admire his dedication.
When he arrived her smile brightened a little. "Thank-you," she had been feeling a bit overdressed after noticing that so many were dressed in more of a costume type fashion. "I've not been waiting long," she assured him as she reached out and placed her hand on his arm. "She's doing alright," her voice flattened a little as she spoke. She didn't want to talk about what she had learned today. There would be time for those discussions later.
