Capítulo 71: Hybrids

Two days later

Ava stared at Marylis then turned towards Phil who quickly avoided her gaze.

"You said… this would be a small party." Though Ava already expected that there would be more guests than she originally anticipated, the number of guests totally surprised her. 

There were close to thirty people.

All dressed up.

All half drunk.

All noisy.

It immediately irritated her.

She frowned again. Not knowing what to say, she looked at Marylis who had an apologetic smile on her face.

"It just happened," Marylis said.

And as much as Ava wanted to reprimand her, she couldn't. She rolled her eyes inwardly.

Marylis was the social butterfly. Not her!

These people came for Marylis and not her!

Ava didn't mind. 

But it was uncomfortable.

The hassle was making her tick. 

And irritating her wasn't a very good thing.
