The night concluded eventually, albeit not quickly at all. At least Nyssa was there to keep me company, and the girls' fear of me being snatched away by the models hanging around never came true. Can't say it was unexpected when there were so many rich men around for them to chase.
The girls and I were now outside alone after Merry refused a ride from Amar's driver, saying she'd go home with Nyssa. As for Leo, he had his parents' car with him and left in the middle of the party after his advances on Ylenia failed.
"What do you think about that model's story? The one with the bolt of lightning that can move through wood?"
I sat at the front by Nyssa's side while Merry sat behind us, pouting. The girls' opinions were important to me because, well, they knew much more about this topic than me.
