The line moved advanced slowly, but from her place in it, Danika didn’t mind except for having to stand all the longer in the shoes. Although she found that standing still was more comfortable than the squish of ginger steps forward. Besides, she was enjoying herself watching all the people around them. In front of her a pair of girls were chatting about their first visit to the Burlesque House. Behind was similar chatter.
A girl approached, and for a moment, Danika assumed she was going to join the pair in front of her in line. Instead, she came straight up to Danika instead.
In the fancy clothes, Danika didn’t recognize the researcher.
“Ilesha! Yes, hi!” she was more excited than she thought she’d be. Fancy running into work people at another club. She wondered if she had heard what happened the other night with Godric and Maria. “And oh my gosh, stop with the doctor stuff. It’s Danika, please. Are you going in?” she gestured at the line. Nobody seemed to notice so she tried to sweep the other girl in line with her.
Then there was a ruckus when a limo pulled up. A gaggle of people swarmed the doors and Danika stood on tip-toe, but on the tall heels only gave her a fraction of an inch advantage, to see who it was. The name spread like brush fire through the line, and Danika’s mouth pursed into round excitement. She loved Blarney Stoned and Aiden Finnegan.
Star struck, she smiled and nudged Ilesha as he walked by.
