With the first round done without any hiccups, Karen spent half an hour straightening things up, checking names off as the second group of half uncomfortable, half vaguely excited looking potential daters showed up, and soon it was much like the first. The spiel was the same, drinks were handed out, and luckily getting everyone in order came easily.
She'd underestimated the interest she'd get for the night, but it was a little exciting, knowing she held cards in her hand that could potentially lead to future romances, and it made the stress of organizing everything worth it. With one last look around to make sure evertyhing was good, she blew on her whistle, signalling the start of the second round of dates for the night.
