Trinity took Annabelle to a room where there was a small group of people who were talking and drinking. Annabelle relaxed because the room was a library filled with books that looked like they hadn't been dusted in years. It had a real homey feel to it. There were many places to sit and they found an empty couch in the corner. The other two were taken. Sitting on a dark green one were two men talking to one another while the other couch, one that was a dark magenta color, had a woman sitting between two men. They were laughing and drinking what looked like the champagne Annabelle had drank before. A waiter walked around the room with a tray full of drinks. Trinity took two glasses and handed one to Annabelle. As Annabelle took the glass from Trinity, her stomach made a sound.
"Excuse me. I haven't eaten much today because I was nervous about tonight. I'm surprised the waiters aren't carrying around food and only drinks."
"It does seem strange, doesn't it? I'm pretty famished myself." Trinity licked her lips that Annabelle was so used to seeing. She couldn't help but wonder what Trinity was hungry for.
"I can go ask-"
Trinity interrupted by placing a hand on Annabelle's knee. "Why don't we wait and get to know one another better? Then we can feed."
Annabelle let out a giggle. She took a sip from her glass. "You have a funny way of saying things."
"I've heard that before." Trinity drained her glass. She laid an arm on the back of the couch behind Annabelle. Annabelle also finished drinking and placed the glass on the floor beside her foot. She took a glance around the room. Everyone else seemed to be enjoying themselves. The two masked men were sitting very close to the woman who was wearing an ivory colored one. She seemed to be a bit tipsy and didn't mind that the men were touching her in such a way that was better in private than in public.
Annabelle glanced at Trinity who was also watching the scene before her. Her lips were still smudged. "Do you want to fix your lipstick? You have some on your cheek."
Trinity licked her finger and wiped away at her cheek. Her tongue came out and wiped around her mouth in a circle. Annabelle watched and placed her own fingers against her lips.
