Somewhere between her time at the bar and her later proclivities with the pool, when Magda was still dressed in semi-appropriate little black dress attire and not as buzzed as she would later be, she was on the dance floor, champagne in hand and a face lit-up by neon and her smile. On the dancefloor, she could check her ghosts and demons. Even the voices were a little harder to hear, though she still caught glimpses now and then of the spirits who wandered Paradise, drawn to the revelry and the noise. She threw back the rest of her champagne and put down the glass so she could free her hands to sway and slither in time with the bassline.

On the dancefloor, she saw Adele, who she knew in passing because she worked where Joshua did and was friend with Zoe, too, but she didn’t know her well. The redhead shimmied on over through the throngs of people to dance next to Adele, wondering if she felt out of her element. Briefly wondered if Magda herself should feel out of her element, but part of Magda’s worldview was to make everywhere her element. “Isn’t this a bit dark for you, sunshine?” Magda quipped at Adele through a sideways smirk. “Though you’re putting the spotlight to shame, that’s for sure. How you doin’ tonight?” she asked, dancing around her, close enough to be heard, to feel Magda’s breath softly on her neck, like a whisper or a memory between the words.
