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.

“What are you doing here?” Mary spat at Ashlyn coldly.
Ashlyn had already spotted Mary and Penelope when she arrived, but she hadn’t spared them a second glance nor thrown any attention their way.
