"Uh yeah, I can talk to Stefan about getting the alcohol." It probably wouldn't be a problem and he'd be contributing, even if he didn't want to be involved directly. Things had gotten more than a little tense when the three of them had met up last, and not the kind of tense Alex felt when Lydia went full on mean girl on her just moments ago. It was a dangerous tension.
The fact was, Allison was right. And Alex had said the same herself when they were all there. Whether they liked it or not, they were going to have to work together. And it would be more than party planning. But after their last meeting, Alex couldn't blame them if they both needed time.
"I'm sure he'll come," Alex said. She could work on persuading him. And she thought he had mentioned something about his girlfriend liking parties so if she couldn't convince him, maybe Caroline could. But either way, all three of them probably needed to be there. They needed to show they were united. Allison was right about that.
"We can all meet again too," Alex said. If she had to play buffer between the two of them, then so be it. Maybe that's why she was here. Maybe she was picked to act as the mediator between the vampire and the hunter. She didn't know, but she did know somehow they were meant to do this together.
"We've all had some time to kind of process...it should go better this time," Alex said, and she hoped she was right.
Lydia stayed out of it because she knew very little about what they were discussing. Evidently the trio couldn't agree or get along about something. She'd ask Allison about it later. So while Allison and Alex were discussing Stefan, Lydia played with Prada.
"Okay." She said when she figured that they were mostly finished or at least at a pausing point. "So Allison will handle the venue, I'll handle the food, and you and Steve can handle the alcohol." She wondered why Alex didn't drink, briefly. She figured there was a story there, but maybe there would be time for that later. She still didn't know her, and the sooner Alex left, the sooner Lydia could have bestie time.
