Chapter 7: National Treasure
"What do you think of the party, Athena? Does it meet your standards? Too small? It was the best we could gather on short notice. Perhaps if you had accepted my invitation earlier, instead of giving me a reply a day ago, I would have dug up something bigger."
Athena held back a scoff, hearing her good friend talk. She didn't even know if he was being sarcastic, or actually being real.
The party was too small? She shook her head. It was good that she had given him her response yesterday.
If this crowd was what he had managed to scavenge in a day, then what would have happened if she had given him the response two months ago?
She had thought it would be a small party where she wouldn't have to meet other people from surrounding cities and towns, where she wouldn't have to meet Ewan, at least not yet. But it seemed that the fates had another thing in mind.
Well, as long as he doesn't cross me. She thought, letting out a breath when the moderator called her friend, to the stage.
She chuckled, when he dropped a kiss on her cheeks.
"Wish me luck."
Pfft.. As if he needed it.
