<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><em>~ Marisol, in the Great Hall with her 'family'~</em><br/><br/>Could anything get anymore perfect? As she looked around at the people around her, she couldn't help the hope the fluttered in her chest. She wanted it all to work out between them. How fantastic would it be that after the six months were finished, they all decided to continue this on their own? It would be...such a dream come true. Giving herself a mental head shake, she raised her glass and focused on what Marcus was saying, not wanting to miss any detail - major or minor - of their first night.<br/><br/><em>“To friends…and family…and what might be”</em><br/><br/>"Cheers," Mari murmured softly as she took a sip of her champagne. Tonight was a night of revelations and getting-to-know each other. She couldn't help but wonder their backgrounds, each and every one of them. Her eyes kept glancing at Nicci and Mila to make sure both women were okay, wanting them to be at ease. It had to be a good sign that already she was keeping a watchful eye on the two of them, right? But there was no need to...the men were taking such good care of them. Which proved to her that this experiment...just might work out in their favor!</span>
