"Our bride to be," Faiza chuckled mockingly.
"Didn't we have an agreement?" Riley asked, ready to pounce at the slightest utterance of a varying response.
"Chill cous," Yasmin snickered. "It's all jokes. Come on, Aveline. Come sit with us." She beckoned.
Aveline's eyes went to the big mat spread on the ground.
A memory containing Arabian royalty and burning incense filled her mind.
"Aveline?"
She blinked on hearing her name, and just like that, the memory disappeared.
"Thanks for including me. The scenery is very beautiful," she said.
"Then come sit already. Come on." Riley beckoned with a hand gesture.
"Let's go," Freya laughed, pushing her forward.
Aveline sat in between Freya, and Riley, while the two other girls sat directly opposite them.
They formed a circle around the mat, the middle filled with delicious goodies..
"The pizza is still on the way, but we can start with what we have here," Riley said, passing the disposable plates around.
