As she slowly munched, she suddenly heard the footsteps of someone close by. Merely sighting them from the corner of her naturally wide, round and deep set eyes, she thought their form looked familair, despite the fact that Kyra hadn’t even really looked up properly, having only flicked her luminous black orbs sideways for less than a millisecond glance.”Hey!” she called out to the other person loudly, as her hand then stretched to pick up another tiny piece of cake and dipped it into a new frosting which she hadn’t tried yet. “Do come on and help me finish up these 2 platters of cakes,”  she offered, her concentration still fully focused on the pieces of food in her hands and not yet on the other. Everyone who had met Kyra knew she had a huge sweet tooth and very keen sense of taste, which was why she was asked to tag along for a wedding cake testing session for a close family friend. However due to an unfortunate event, it now seemed like the wedding was most likely to be called off and the furious bride-to-be had just stormed off to search for the man who had just brought the bad news to her, leaving Kyra alone with the now obviously forsaken cakes, fillings and frostings which had come in a bountiful variety. And wouldn’t it be such a waste if no one enjoyed them?

Beads of sweat trickled along the curvature of Jamie’s jaw and down her neck as she fastened a rope of leaves to the arm of what must have been the largest wedding archway she had ever seen. It was the big, bad and beautiful day for one of Elisabeth Island’s very own socialites, who had employed Sutton’s Field for their floral needs. Those needs turned out to be about as complex of a request as her guest list was long. Just Jamie and one of her employees was onsite, decorating the venue with a very specific selection of blooms in varying yellows and pinks. As it would not be hours until the main event, the aquarium remained open to the public that morning. Jamie had been working as early as the doors unlocked, and was not even halfway through the job. A figure appeared out of the corner of her eye after what felt like a long period of silence, and assuming it was her paid assistance, she reached her hand out to point at the opposite wooden arm from where she was working. “Could y–hey! Could you make sure those peonies are tied tightly in the back? God forbid even a petal fall on her glorious day.” It took everything for Jamie to stifle a laugh about her client, while her eyes hadn’t moved from her own assignment.
