The list of friends invited to the tea party naturally included everyone who had been with me in the Holy Nation that day.
As the one who had come up with the idea, I probably should have thought about this earlier, but... gathering friends together on the last day of the year wasn’t exactly easy.
Some people might prefer to spend the evening clinking beer glasses with other friends out in the city, celebrating the new year that way.
And, honestly, by the time you hit thirty, a lot of your friends start hovering between whether or not to get married. Those ones? They usually have a girlfriend, and more often than not, they want to spend that night with her.
