章 25: Familiar voice

This wasn't the kind of 'fun' Joreen had planned. She looked around and saw a lot of people having fun and laughing together. She felt alone. Although Hoy was beside her and they greeted some guests, it wasn't more than that and she wanted it to be more. 

"What do you want to do?" She heard Hoy's voice beside her and turned to look at him.
