Cho and Melinda
Melinda shrugged, surveying the crowd. "Normal? I suppose so. It was a bit odd for moment there but it was only a couple of nights." The talk of nightmares had dwindled during the day. It could only be a good sign, right?
"The evening's been lovely so far," Melinda said, a hint of mild surprise in her tone. "I hadn't expected the Ministry to pull off such a thing so tastefully, but they managed it. Now if only I could spend more of this evening focused on pleasure instead of business." There was a wry resignation in her voice then, but it passed quickly enough. She cast Cho an apologetic look. "Oh, should I be distracting you from work like this?"
