118 VENOMOUS REUNION

ARIEL'S POV Still at the party, one of the servers approached me with a tray of drinks. He was a handsome young man, but his looks were nothing extraordinary. "Miss, do you want some?" he asked, offering me a drink. I smiled and accepted the drink. "Thank you." "You're welcome," he replied, before walking away. No doubt he would make a great model with his looks and charm. Looking around, I couldn't spot Lukel or Janice anywhere. I was wondering why they hadn't arrived at the party yet. As Hannah approached, I grabbed her arm and pulled her closer. "Hey Ariel, what's up?" she asked with a grin. "I can't see Lukel and Janice anywhere. Where are they?" I asked, concerned. Hannah laughed and reassured me, "Don't worry, they'll be here soon." "That's what you said an hour ago," I replied with a sigh. "It hasn't even been twenty minutes, Ariel. Relax," she spoke, shaking her head. "I just want to be with my children right now," I stated, feeling anxious.
