Sophie is amazed as they pull up to Katerina and Liana's new home. The two-story Mediterranean-style home is surrounded by lush gardens and towering palm trees. The long and large stone gate is guarded by a uniformed demon guard who greets them warmly.
As they drive through the gate, Sophie is struck by the sheer size of the property. The driveway is lined with blooming flowers and leads up to the grand entrance of the home. The exterior boasts intricate stonework and ornate balconies.
Liana hears the doorbell ring and opens the door to find Sophie and Emily with an unfamiliar woman named Lily. They introduce Lily to her and she explains that she is an old friend of Katerina's. Liana welcomes them inside and gives them a tour of their beautiful home.
As they make their way to the backyard, Liana tells them that Katerina is out swimming in the pool and invites them to join. When Katerina emerges from the pool, Liana can't help but smile.
Katerina. "Sophie! Emily! Lily! It's so good to see you all again!"
Sophie jumps into the pool, and Liana joins her.
Lily. "I hope you don't mind me stopping by for a surprise visit Kat!"
Kat."It's a lovely surprise! Haven't seen you in such a long time."
We all lounged around in the pool catching up with each other.
Lily. "So you got married?" She asked.
Kat. "Oh yeah, me and Liana got married several months ago in Seoul. What have you been up to, how is college going?"
Lily."It's going really well, I can't believe all three of you dropped out though, I mean it looks like you are all doing great though!"
Liana."What was Kat like in college?"
Kat." No don't tell her" she interjected laughing.
Liana."No please tell me..."
Lily."Well, she was kind of an oddball to be honest, sure she was sweet but she always wore black and kind of just seemed spaced out all of the time. She seems a lot happier now though, even her fashion sense has completely 180'd."
Liana."So babe you used to dress like me?"
Kat."Correction babe, you dress how I used to dress." She replied laughing.
Lily."Well, I really like this new version of you Kat!"
Liana."Yeah, she's all cute and adorable, I love it!"
Kat. "Hey...I'm still a savage!"
Liana. "A girly one!"
Lily. "Yeah...ask anyone that knew Kat in college...no one would have ever said those things about her back then...haha-haha."
Kat."Right...she gets it."
Emily. "It's great the three of us are back together again."
Sophie. "For real, it's been a long fucking time."
Lily."And now we have a 4th member, Kat's lovely wife Liana."
Liana. "Happy to be part of the squad guys!"
Emily & Sophie. "Why don't you move in with us?"
Lily. "I can't drop out guys, I have a scholarship."
Kat. "Don't ask her to be as irresponsible as the rest of us guys."
Sophie."You are right, sorry!"
Emily." Just make sure you visit us on some of your breaks!"
Liana. "Why don't play some music and drink some margaritas?"
Kat. "Great suggestion, let's do it, girls."
.
Katerina and Liana's house is bustling with activity as Sophie, Emily, and Lily join them for a private party. The sun is shining, and the music is blasting as they all get into the party mood.
Katerina and Liana are mixing drinks by the pool, and everyone is chatting and laughing. They're all having a great time, and the drinks are flowing freely.
As the music starts to play, Sophie jumps into the pool and starts dancing. Emily and Lily quickly follow suit, and soon they're all splashing around and laughing together. Katerina and Liana join in, and they all dance together in the pool.
The party continues into the evening, and the sun sets behind them. The music gets louder, and they all dance together under the stars. They're all grateful for the moment, and they know that this is a memory they'll all cherish forever.
As the night comes to a close, they all gather around the pool, looking up at the stars. They share stories and reminisce about old times, and they all feel grateful for the friendships they've formed.
"I'm so happy we could all be here together," Katerina says, raising her glass in a toast. "To friendship, love, and making memories that will last a lifetime."
They all clink their glasses together, and the night ends with a sense of warmth and happiness.
