Key To one's Happiness

When Elena arrived at the restaurant, Sarah and Chloe were already present. 

As soon as she came into view, Sarah clapped her hands dramatically. "See who decided to be fashionably late," she announced."

Seeing Elena pull a seat out to herself, Chloe said with a smile, "And she looked so beautiful."

Elena could only shake her head. She did not know why the two of them decided to gang up and throw praises at her, but they better know that she was not footing any bill.

"Can you two keep it down? All eyes are turning to us."

"Says the person currently at the centre of everyone's attention who hates it there," Sarah added and Chloe let out a soft chuckle for fear of Elena's glance.

'Okay,' Elena said to herself. Maybe it was good that both women were treating her kindly. Without their presence, she probably would have been at home sitting and reading some magazines or trying something to keep her brain from rotting out.
