However, once Penelope realized how casually they were dressed, she felt a little bit calmer. None of them looked like they were dressed for the occasion.
Mary, on the other hand, was still annoyed. Even the sight of Ashlyn could rub her the wrong way. She always had a niggling feeling that everything would go south as long as Ashlyn was around.
“What are you doing here?” Mary spat at Ashlyn coldly.
