Estelle greeted Sylvia, Marina, and the others as the waiter came over with a tray of drinks and foods. They formed a lively circle, the buzz of conversation growing louder.

Estelle hadn’t expected Evelyn to show up, but they had met before, so no formal introductions were necessary.

She turned to Marina with a smile. “I’ve been wanting to thank you, and I’m so glad we could finally meet today.”

Marina laughed heartily. “No need for thanks among friends.”

Estelle nodded. “Well, if you ever need anything, just holler.”

Marina knew Estelle well enough to take her word as genuine friendship. She pursed her lips and nodded. “Deal.”

They clinked glasses in agreement.

Estelle then looked at Amiee. “When are the invitations going out?”

Magdalen’s eyes lit up with surprise. “Amiee, you’re getting married? Is the date set?”

Sophia chimed in, “December 26th. It’s coming up fast.”

Amiee smiled serenely. “The invites will be sent out in the next couple of days. I hope everyone can make it.”
