As Serena walked through the kitchen she sighed, making a point to avoid touching anyone else in the room as she headed towards the bottles on the counter. Despite the celebration being in honor of her best friend Serena refused to celebrate it, and thankfully Lillian wasn't too upset about it. Everyone, Lillian especially, knew that Serena hadn't wanted the pack to split up and had tried stubbornly to pull it back together when it did. Of course, eventually she gave up, both female alphas refusing to back down.
Once she made it to the counter Serena decided take up residence there, slipping into 'work mode'. Bartending was one of her favorite things to do as it often was the only time she could truly let her mind wander. As she started mixing a batch of margaritas Serena heard one of the younger girls in the pack announce Lillian's arrival. Instead of dropping what she was doing and going to great her friend Serena stayed in the kitchen. Shaking up the margaritas she had made she quickly poured the drink into glasses and started on her next concoction. Ever since Serena started bartending she and Lillian had decided that at pack events like this Serena was allowed to hide in the kitchen and zone out as long as when Lillian finally made it to her a drink was waiting for her.
That being so Serena went about making one of Lillian's favorite drinks in anticipation of her
best friend's first (and likely not last) visit to the kitchen.
