Shawnelle and Elizabeth looked at each other, nodded, and decided they could definitely help Haley out

The dance club ay froed them an invitation since the oas a fan of the Rivers The ambiance was dark, moody, and low-key, unlike the loud beachtype laser bars that blasted your ear dru and hot, up-tempo music, but she also wanted to be able to have a conversation without screa herself hoarse She ay too old for that nonsense

"Coo rock the dance floor"

"Oh, I don’t think so" Elizabeth shook her head
