Ephyra finished there when it was mid-afternoon and drove to the address of the banquet venue Jania had given her. The location of the hall was in the heart of the upscale district. Ephyra's car rolled through the ornate gates, flanked by towering evergreens dusted with snow. The driveway curved gracefully toward the entrance, where a line of trucks was already parked. She parked and stepped out, her heels crunching softly against the gravel as she adjusted her coat against the biting winter air.
A valet approached her with a polite smile, offering to take her keys. "Welcome, Miss Ephyra, Please proceed inside; someone will guide you from there."
Ephyra handed over the keys and strode confidently toward the main doors. The entrance was bustling with activity as workers moved in and out, carrying last-minute decorations and trays of hors d'oeuvres.
