Big parties were fun, but it was hard to beat smaller, intimate parties like this. Here, she could actually talk to people, catch up with the few people she remembered from the restaurant. And then, once everyone had caught up and had a few drinks, somebody switched on their speaker and Viv was pulling Georgie out to the middle of the floor.
Georgie was no dancer, certainly nowhere near Viv's level, but that didn't matter. She could just fool around with Viv and laugh at herself, and nobody cared, because everyone was doing exactly the same thing. Georgie didn't think they'd had this much fun at a party for a while. The last party had been bigger, messier, and while it had been fun, it had been tainted. But this was just them having a good time with their friends and having fun.
They danced for a few songs, before Georgie laughed and flicked her hair out of her face. "I'll be right back, just gonna grab drinks!" She called over the music. "You stay dancing, you're too good at it to stop," she teased as she walked away. As she went back into the kitchen, she caught sight of two figures at the edge of the party, slipping away practically into the shadows. Against her better judgement, she followed them, a bad feeling starting to creep in. And sure enough, the bad feeling was confirmed. It was Ray and the girl from the restaurant, the one that Viv had said she'd had a bad feeling about.
Georgie turned and headed back into the party, storming onto the dance floor and grabbing Viv's arm. "We need to talk," she said, as quietly as she could while also making sure Viv would hear her. She let go of Viv's arm but gave her a look, telling her to follow Georgie. Georgie made her way out onto the balcony, wrapping her arms around herself as she hit the cold air. Perhaps the balcony hadn't been the best idea, but it was the only place they could talk without being overheard without running the risk of running into Ray and Kelsey. Viv deserved some sort of head's up instead of finding out like that.
