"Sophie..... I'm so glad you came" Stephanie came to hug Sophia as she arrived for her birthday celebration.
"Of course I wouldn't miss it for anything"
"I was beginning to think you wouldn't come. You know with the way you have been avoiding us since you got married"
"Steph you know it's not like that. I haven't been avoiding you, I have just been so busy with work, and family stuff lately"
"It's okay, I understand. At least you are here now, come let me introduce you to my other guests"
Stephanie led Sophia to where the rest of the guests, who were all female, were seated. Jumoke was already there, and was already busy helping herself to the food and drinks that were available.
"I thought you said you were watching your weight?" Sophia asked Jumoke as they got to where she was.
"Yes of course, why?" Jumoke asked as she continued to stuff her plate with food.
