The venue for the gathering was a high-end hotel, and they were meeting on a floor they had reserved entirely for themselves, a throwback to their days at an elite school.

Meryl vividly recalled sitting down and feeling the cold stain seep through her school uniform, the laughter of her classmates ringing in her ears.

"What's wrong, Meryl? Are you crying tears of joy at seeing your old classmates?"

Lydia's voice dripped with sarcasm, and then she feigned a gasp.
