Epilogue (Ashamed)

To say the weekend was fun would be a vast overstatement for Allison. The young woman put her best face forward when she finally met up with Ashley and the rest of their convention group. Soon, the group were conversing in the hotel room

"Are you doing alright?" asked Ashley of Allison

"I'm ok. Still thinking about my aunt" which wasn't a total lie but Allison's thoughts weren't on her aunt at the moment

"You'll be ok. This convention is going to be a great weekend, right babe?" Ashley turned to look at David

"Sure. I think we're off to a good start already" David said and planted a kiss on Ashley. David moved his eyes over to Allison and winked

Jason chimed in "Get a room you guys."

"This is a room" David retorted

Ashley laughed and that caused Allison to laugh too

While Allison did her best to have a fun weekend, it was marred by the sense of guilt she had over what happened at the bar

The weekend was soon over, and the friends returned home, eager to plan their next convention. Allison planned to skip the next one
