Brooke had seen Alexander disappear from the corner of her eye. She'd need to track him down later and apologize for the travesty that this evening had turned into.

More importantly, though, she had Stephanie to worry about. She snapped her fingers at a nearby society matron and attempted to make the woman feel charitable.

...nothing happened.

Probably because Brooke had never felt charitable for a single moment in her entire life.

Sigh. Looks like she wasn't going to get that fur stole to help cover Steph up after all.

Shaking her head, she lifted the hem of her gown and walked right behind Stephanie.

She'd help make Insomniac pay, if they caught him.
