He thought of the look on his friend's face. He thought of the disappointment. He knew he could not let that happen. He started to formulate a plan.

He moved with a renewed energy, determined. He would call everyone. He would rearrange everything. He would, somehow, salvage the spirit of the event.

He knew it was going to be difficult, but he was prepared. He felt the fire in his belly growing as he started to call the guests.
