Melody put her hand loosely into Theresa's briefly and thanked her. She took the drink Brian had brought, and glanced down at where Maddy was cleaning her coat, glad her friend knew how to look after it properly.

"It was great!" she managed to say at last, her voice carrying clearly over the sound of the canned music thumping out of the speakers, and then saw Maddy was pointing to her teeth when looking at Theresa. She looked from one to the other, wondering whether this was some sort of 'secret club signal' that she was oblivious to, never having been to a club before.
