Work in Progress - Vanessa

Pink everywhere, every shade of the color you could ever imagine, from cotton candy to lemonade, as if the princess of the celebration couldn't decide.  Marianne and I are mesmerized by clusters of balloons, a giant tiered cake.  Marianne makes a comment about the weather and wonders if the party will be canceled.

The wind picks up, the edge of the table cloth shimmers in the breeze, goblets fall over, and plates flip into the pool.  The gusts get stronger, but no one comes out and fixes anything.  And we watch a lot of pink stuff blow away.  We are caught up in the drama.  And Marianne swears she heard a fight going on.  But I only hear the wind.

Later there are twinkling lights and sounds of celebration, music playing, and a ton of people.  Marianne says she doesn't mind if I walk over.
