Re: James & Fiona - post auction concert/dancing 8:30
It had been a rather enjoyable evening, all things considered. Certainly, the celebrity date auction was a bit odd, especially with seeing someone she'd literally grown up with up on stage. She loved Gavin as much as she loved any of her cousins, but she couldn't imagine bidding on a date with him, much less anyone else. Thankfully for Mrs. Nott, there were plenty of people present who seemed plenty comfortable with bidding to win a date with the celebrities who had volunteered.
Fiona had, at least, found something she was plenty interested in while looking through the silent auction items, and she didn't hesitate to place a bid for the Kit Higgs sculpture. It was positively lovely, and she rather thought that if she didn't win the bid, she would have to look the artist up and buy something directly from him. Maybe she would even if she did win it.
Although she'd been in the middle of a conversation with Clary, she noticed James right away as he started toward her, and she brushed her hands over her gown in a small outward sign of anxiety. Which was ridiculous, because she was always so comfortable around him. Perhaps it was because this wasn't a casual or work setting. They were both dressed up, and she couldn't deny that he looked quite dapper. She smiled at him as he reached her, nodding her head at his question.
"I think so, oui. I want to get in a final bid before the silent auction ends, and I've heard the lineup for the concert will be rather exciting," she answered, her stomach fluttering in a rather ridiculous manner.
