Party Guests

I smiled and laughed and danced when the oppurtunity presented itself. Lee had gone all out on this one. I couldn’t help but think about the book, though. Grace had to trick me into it. My perfect older sister.

Now, I was just waiting for him. He’d been there my whole stinking childhood and if he didn’t show up now…

“If he didn’t show up what?” the al too familiar voice came from behind me and soon the body it belonged to swung me around and put my arms on his shoulders as a slow song began.

“Tristan, nice to see you again.”

“I still want to know what you would’ve done if I hadn’t come,” he teased and I felt like five again as he twirled me around. I just wish he’d get that new look out of his eye. The one that reminded me why he was there. He just laughed as I pulled away a bit. “Have it your way. I’ll just take a peek into your mind if I get really curious.” I stuck my tongue out which he found hysterical.

“Shouldn’t we get to the reason you came?”

He smiled and danced me to the door.
