Bev and Open to All (multiples welcome)
Bev wore a gold gown, paired with the pendant she had received for Christmas, the happy new year tiara that the hotel had provided and a bright smile. She planned on having a lot of fun that evening. It was an especially happy occasion for her - the first year, in a long time, to start with with all her memories intact, real friends around her and without Tom dragging her down. It was an amazingly free feeling of possibilities, as if she could even leave her nightmares behind in the past year.
She stood to the side of the dance floor, swaying slightly to the music and looking for the right person to ask to dance with her. Happiness and celebrations should be shared after all.
