Finally, the chatter died down, and the party kicked into high gear.
Sultry dancers performed on stage.
Down below, Rose White and her group of beautiful friends occupied the largest booth, naturally becoming the center of attention.
An endless stream of men of all kinds came over to offer them drinks and flirt. Rose White and the other girls were quite open, accepting toasts from all comers. Even Sharon Sterling joined in, pretentiously downing a few glasses.
Only Aurora Sterling remained seated with a constant smile, politely refusing every drink offered to her.
She was a fearless person, afraid of nothing in heaven or on earth, except for one thing: the unhinged, almost superhuman frenzy she fell into after drinking.
