Hannah’s POV
As the elevator doors slid open, I saw Aubrey waiting for me in the lobby, leaning casually against a pillar with her arms crossed. She wore a knowing smile that made it clear she was ready to drag me out for some much-needed girl time. Her eyes sparkled as she saw me approach, her fiery red hair catching the last rays of the setting sun filtering through the glass windows.
“There she is,” Aubrey called out, pushing off the pillar and walking toward me. “Ready for a night of letting loose?”
I chuckled despite the weight in my chest. “You make it sound like I’ve been locked away for years.”
“In some ways, you have,” she teased, pulling me into a tight hug. “But that ends tonight. Come on, we have got a lot of fun to do.”
