Later, Christian pulls up in front of Avalon, the neon lights of the club reflecting off his car's windshield. He parks and heads inside, where the music is already thumping, and the place is buzzing with energy. It's packed, the renovation clearly having attracted a crowd eager to check out the newly revamped space.
Christian spots Lucas and Henrique near the bar, both of them already in full party mode. Lucas waves him over, a drink in hand.
"There he is!" Lucas cheers as Christian approaches. "We thought you'd never make it."
Christian smiles, shaking his head as he joins them. "Wouldn't miss it for the world. Looks like the place is packed."
"Yeah, Avalon is back in business, and the crowd's loving it," Henrique says, handing Christian a drink. "Glad you made it out. You need to unwind, my man."
