The event progressed as expected.
Liz and Mia stuck together because Hunter and Max were busy with guests.
Max was the center of attention, and he would often pull Hunter into the conversation. Hunter was sure that Max is doing it on purpose so that Hunter can't spend time with Mia.
Liz and Mia didn't know many people present, but that didn't stop them from drinking and chatting while observing the crowd from one of the tables they occupied.
Foxy stopped by to say 'hi', apologizing that she can't stay longer because she is crazy-busy. She is the main figure behind planning for this event and she was endlessly circling through the hall and the kitchen, making sure that everything is perfect. "I can rest when the last guest leaves."
Andrea would sit with Liz and Mia briefly, and then she would drift into a crowd for some time before returning with another drink in her hand.
