Bloody Party

The woman addressed as Paula turned and glanced at Lea with a surprised expression. She paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Sorry, you've got the wrong person."

At that moment, Lea realized she had made a silly mistake. Her face flushed and she broke out into a sweat from embarrassment. "Ah, I thought you were someone I knew."

The masked woman laughed again, shaking her head. Lea chuckled awkwardly. She felt incredibly stupid. "Of course not. Paula is long gone," she whispered very softly, but it was still noticeable to the woman in mask.

Feeling awkward and unbearable embarrassment, Lea searched for something on the table to put in her mouth. Since the food seemed too heavy, she opted for a drink. A glass of cranberry juice seemed fine to her.
