Both climbed into Jenny’s car, which sped through the nighttime streets toward the city center Jenny turned around to engage Hannah in conversation.
“We hadn’t heard of you before. Edwin never mentioned you.”
With a polite smile, Hannah replied, “I’ve only recently returned to Hoijery.”
“Ah, I see. Well, don’t hold back tonight. Enjoy yourself. Dreamy Rendezvous is our business. You’ve got nothing to worry about.”
Hannah felt a twinge of confusion, unsure what Jenny meant by “nothing to worry about.”
But before she could seek clarification, the car pulled up in front of an opulent club.
“We’re here! Time to get out!” Jenny, beaming, was the first to exit the car.

“So it’s not just your classmates?” Hannah queried Edwin.
Overhearing her, Jenny approached and grabbed her arm.
“We invited a bunch of people, but don’t stress. Our class has its own private room, so it won’t get too crowded.”
Hannah found Jenny’s assurance comforting, genuinely believing the room wouldn’t be overly packed.

She steadied him and helped him sit.
“How many did you have?”
“Uh, maybe 5 drinks?” Edwin squinted, seemingly unsure.
“Or maybe it was 7.”
Hannah sighed, slightly exasperated.
“Never mind. Let’s get you home.”
Just as she was about to help Edwin up, Jenny appeared, a wine glass in hand.
