After all, one of the few things that the British Ministry was good at was throwing a party.
And what was the cardinal rule of parties? Never let your glass get too empty. In order to do that, one needed a drink. He made a beeline for the refreshment table, passing both Louise, Arabella, and another gentleman (Airey)who looked familiar, but at the moment, Valentin couldn’t place. As it was, his attention was set on getting his hands around something bubbly. Alba was very happy to see that Vale had come. She knew he would in the end. He always showed up for her because he cared about her. Alba was ecstatic to have such a good friend. Coming up to him, Alba felt rather bold in her new black dress and made her move ... well the kind of moves you make on your into boys best friend.
"Hey Vale." And she gave him a kiss on the cheek. She had not paid attention to if anyone else was around or if she had embarrassed him. It was her right as best friend to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm glad you came!" And she truly was.
"What are you drinking?" She asked trying to decide what she wanted to drink.
