“I had the best evening,” I said to Charlotte as I began my nightly ritual. “Everyone loved the chili buffet. I think the girls and I may have started something. There was even talk of adding a seafood option to the mix for next year’s party.”

Charlotte sat on the bathroom floor and watched me as I took off my makeup.

“I have to say, I was surprised at the chemistry Eve and Dex seemed to share. I would never in a million years have pegged them as a potential couple. They are as different as night and day and yet together they seem to work.”

I applied the first of three moisturizers to my face. My mama had taught me the importance of a religious moisturizing routine and I stick to it to this day.

“And of course Pepper and Chad were as loud and funny as always. I do enjoy their energy. They have a way of lighting up the room and making everyone feel happier. I’m a little worried about Pi and Brooklyn, however.”

I began to brush my long, thick hair. One hundred strokes every night keeps it healthy and shiny.

“Brooklyn seems as enamored with Pi as she has been from the first day she met him, but Pi seemed more interested in talking to Jeremy. Of course Pi and Jeremy play in the band together and I know music is important to Pi. And I suppose Pi and Brooklyn are a little young to be in a serious relationship, yet I can see that is what Brooklyn is hoping for. I know her breakup with her last boyfriend was hard on her. I suppose she is ready to move on.”

I braided my hair as I always did before going to bed and then began tidying the bathroom.

“Relationships are complicated. I just hope Brooklyn doesn’t get her heart broken.”

After I was satisfied that I had done everything I needed to do to prepare myself for bed, I set about preparing the room. I worked my way around the area, straightening already perfectly straight books and knickknacks before opening my window just a quarter of an inch.

“Will asked me to dinner on Friday. Although he wasn’t specific, I got the feeling he was asking me on a real date. We are even going dancing. I have to admit the thought of dancing with Will brings butterflies to my stomach. It’s been so long since I’ve enjoyed a man’s embrace as we sway to the music. I wonder what I should wear.”

Charlotte began swatting at the decorative pillows I have stacked on my bed. It was obvious she wanted me to move things along.

“I suppose I’ll ask for input from the girls. They are always so good about knowing which clothes best fit each social situation.”

After stacking the extra pillows on my white tufted chaise I poured myself a cup of tea from the warming pot I’d already brought up and added a splash of brandy. Then I slid between my 1500-thread count sheets and settled in.
