In typical fashion, Carol arrived at the party late. She wore a pair of white jeans cropped at the ankle, a black t-shirt with her black leather jacket and white tennis shoes. As she arrived, she let her eyes roam the room, taking in the décor, the food and drinks, and the people in attendance.
No captain?
The karaoke had started, with a younger woman not fearful of the actions performed on stage could have. In Carol’s younger days, she was more than happy to grab a drink…to grab several drinks…to grab all the drinks and partake in whatever activities were happening. It was different now.
Getting older sucks.
She smiled at the woman’s courage to participate, though stayed far away. She also made her way to a glass… a glass of water.
Boring…
Her eyes noticed there were soda options, which would help. If she didn’t drink alcohol, she could at least enjoy caffeinated beverages with sugar. For now, she’d sip her water though. She didn’t wish to discuss her choice of beverages though, so she talked to a barkeeper, changing the look of her drink with ice and garnishing. Happy with her water on the rocks, she walked around the room, continuing to note who was in the room and found a place she could relax at a table near the music. Parties with food, drink, and music put her in the mood to dance, but she’d wait for that, there was time for shenanigans.
