The look of stress on Lou’s face was essentially a permanent fixture, but it didn’t matter when she took this little moment to herself to scan the room. Lifting the glass of whiskey to her lips and taking a sip, Lou smiled at the way things had all come together. “Please tell me you’re enjoying yourself,” she said to the person who had just stepped up to her side, “I don’t care if it’s a lie, I honestly just need the confidence boost right now.” Turning to face the individual, she gave them a quick wink. “This looks good, right? It isn’t just me being delusional because I’ve been staring at it all for so long?” 

Lacie hadn’t wanted to come to this event in a long time, but knowing that she was getting to come with Andrew Harper as her date made it much more enticing. She’d spent most of the night with him attached to her hip but he was chatting with his brother across the room and Lacie had slipped off to get a couple more drinks for the both of them. She was definitely a little past tipsy already and knelt down to yank her heels off her feet as she made her way over to the bar, shoes in her hand and holding her dress up with the other.

“I’m gonna need two glasses of champagne, STAT!” She laughed, leaning against the bar and glancing around at the people nearest her. “What? You don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy?”

She had definitely had too much tequila, sat at a table with a couple of friends as she sang along to the music before they wandered off to the dance floor. “Nooo, my feet hurt! Okay, drinking game!” instead of facing her friends now dancing, she turned to the nearest person to her, “You and you,’ she exclaimed, completely unaware that she was indicating to one person and not the two her vision was telling her was there. “Come play a game with me!”

Kenzie wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed but even she couldn’t miss the look on Avery’s face every time she happened to catch her eye from across the room. She wouldn’t have said Avery looked mad per se but...definitely not thrilled to see Kenzie and Tate together. It was obvious that everyone thought Tate was a bad guy for Kenzie but she knew Avery was his friend so she was trying to understand why she’d been shooting daggers at her all night and decided it was time to ask. She kissed Tate’s cheek and left him with some parents of the kids on the football team to cross the ball room and find Avery. 

Event: Belle Ball 2020

Hunter’s Closet: Madison Belle Ball 2020

This is only Hunter’s third ball. He started attending a few years ago when a customer at The Booze Barn asked him to attend as his date, and it was actually fun. He isn’t big on spending a ton of money or anything, but renting a tux for the night isn’t too bad of a deal. He opted for blue this year, and he’s let his beard grow out a little more than usual just for this.
