Daniel got an invitation for a dinner party in the mail. It was from his friend Elena. She is celebrating her 30th birthday next week and she wants him to attend.

Elena is Daniel’s friend since college and they haven’t seen each other in a few months since he moved from Chicago to New Hampshire. Daniel really wants to see her though Elena’s party falls on a working week. He just needs to ask his boss if he can take a few days off. It’s has been a long time since he relaxed and spent time with friends ever since he moved.

Elena was ecstatic Daniel made it to her dinner party. She gave a shriek when she saw him. They really missed each other. Daniel immediately felt at home at the party. Also present were other of Elena and Daniel’s mutual friends. They were glad too that he made it.

In the middle of bottomless wine and wonderful lamb skewers, the friends talked about the countless good times they shared together. Elena’s house was filled with laughter and great talk. It was obvious that everyone was having a great time.

Daniel was happy he made the trip to see Elena and his other friends. It was a lovely party. One he won’t forget in a long time.
