บท 265: 265- The Event (I)

Nina and Valerie had arrived on time and were sitting at a table, sipping their drinks. Their glittery dresses shimmered under the lights of the event venue. It was an open-air event, and the weather was pleasant with a light breeze.

Valerie made a face and gave her a curious look, "Shame?"
