Re: Susan + Lavender + Open
"Oh dear, yes he won't thank us in the morning but it'll be fun for all of us." It felt good to be laughing and talking with friends again. Susan had been lost in her own thoughts for too long. Even though there was a message to send sometime that week that was going to be awkward, she would enjoy herself that evening.
"Ah yes, the lure of a man in fancy dress is always nice. Some of them you need to threaten their lives to get them to dress up. I hope Cormac doesn't give you too much trouble." Susan couldn't help remembering Charlie at the Ball, but then took a sip of wine to chase the memory away - she was still making up her mind about him. "She does have the experience and connections. I'm sure it will be very extravagant."
