It was only two hours into the gala and Gemma already wanted to go home, but she continued to force the smile on her lips as she greeted all the guest. But the difficult parts was over as the presentation and speech that she and Jenny did had gone perfectly. Though Gemma's mind couldn't help but wonder to the last time that she had hosted one of these galas over five months ago.
That was the night that Jaime Reyes had broken up with her in the worst possible way.
It was especially difficult to not think about him when the Reyes all rushed at her and Jenny giving them tight hugs and congratulating them.
Regardless of everything that happened it was so nice to see the Reyes, they had felt like her family even if it had only been for a couple of months. They all seemed so happy and excited to be at the gala that Gemma couldn't believe that she was doubted whether or not to invite them.
"It's so good to see you mija." Mrs. Reyes said as she pulled Gemma into a tight hug that she wasn't entirely prepared for. Some part of her had expected for them to treat her differently but they were acting as if nothing had happened.
"Thank you for coming." Gemma said as Jenny and Rudy got into some kind of argument in the background. "Did Javier help you all settle in?"
"Yes, thank you for having him pick us up from the airport." Milagros replied looking a little nervous, which wasn't very like Milagros at all. They were also all staying with Gemma for the weekend, which she was initially afraid that maybe it would be too weird to have them over. But luckily Jenny would be staying over too so if things did get awkward then she would be there to help.
"Gemma. Jenny, There's still a lot of people that you need to get to." Brenda stated as she approached them a look concern on her facing making it clear that they probably were being on all the people and reporters that they needed to get to.
"If I don't get to talk to you all again I'll see you at the house." Gemma told them all before she and Jenny walked back into the crowd not even knowing where to start.
"Dr. Ivo. Ms Kord." A tall man said as he approached them with a smile that was too charming to even be real. Gemma felt her heart stop in her chest at the sight of who was undoubtedly the most famous person in the room. When she had met Oliver Queen at the last gala she had found him the most handsome man she had ever seen, but suddenly that had changed. "Bruce Wayne."
