“o mijn god, you look so perfect! we have to take a picture together!” marcelina grinned as she approached her guest, holding her phone. jumping up and down excitedly, as much as her six-inch heels let her. “thank you so much for coming, it means the world to me, love.”

Lucy looked around her and smiled, it was nice that so many people had come to celebrate Marcie’s birthday and put in the effort to dress up. She the person she wanted to speak to and moved between the crowd to get to them, “You look amazing!”

Charlie threw his arm around the person nearest to him, overwhelmed with joy as Lucy wandered into his line of sight. Despite knowing she couldn’t hear him and hadn’t seen him yet, he wasn’t breaking character, he refused to do so. A promise was a promise, after all. The five or six Firewhiskeys were definitely helping with his enthusiasm. “Right from the moment that I met her, saw her.” He shouted, gesturing flamboyantly at Lucy. “I said she’s gorgeous and I fell.” He took a quick drink before returning with his song with vigour. “For in town there’s only she, who is beautiful as me...” He paused, turning to wink at his company, leaning close as though he was about to share an incredibly scandalous secret. “So I’m making plans to woo and... severely irritate Belle. I mean, clearly it’s working because she told me to go and annoy somebody else- and you are the lucky person I've chosen!”
