Chapter 49: It's a Party!

“Welcome to Hallie’s housewarming party!”

Jessica and a few of Hallie’s friends from college had helped make everything run smoothly, and they greeted Luke at the door as he came in, not alone, but with a couple of those party boys Hallie had seen the first time they ever met.

Hallie wasn’t too annoyed that he had invited his own guests since she wanted it to be a real party, and they didn’t have that many people to start with.

When an apartment became available in Jessica’s building, Hallie decided to take it. She liked working in the city, and she could live just two floors down from her best friend!

The day of her housewarming party, she came in to work wondering whether she should invite Luke. Finally, in the mood for a gamble, she decided to do it.

Finn wasn’t going to be there as he had a prior social engagement. Even though she wasn’t officially dating either Finn or Luke, she wanted to keep them separate, or else who knew what kind of chaos would ensue?
