People were buzzing around when I reached the garden where the tea party took place. It would be better if I stayed away from Rachelle. I decided to find my group of acquaintances or just a quiet corner. The truth was after so many lives, I had became even more introverted. I was never an outgoing person to start with.
I was walking towards a group of people when someone patted me on my shoulder. I tensed and gripped the protective charm I made.
"Odette, I was wondering where you are!" I turned around to find Rachelle smiling angelically at me.
"I was just held back by something not important."
"I was so worried you might miss the party." She blinked her huge misty lavender eyes.
"Of course not." Best to stay away from her, but first... "Rachelle, where did your quest take you? You look thinner!"
