Who: Melinda and OPEN
What: Sweet Nothings’ pre-open pre-taste party
Where: The rooftop above Sweet Nothings
When: Saturday January 31, 2005 - Evening
Rating: SFW, will update if/as needed

Being back in Sweet Nothings’ kitchen this week had felt like coming home. Mark, the baker she had hired to make up for the workload her mother would no longer be doing, had fit right in. Sure, he wasn’t much of a decorator, but he could bake and even better; he could adapt and spar verbally when it came to recipes and procedures. Between the two of them, getting everything ready for tonight’s party had gone smoother than she had planned for.

So now, the buffet tables were laden with cakes, pastries and dessert. Layer cakes had become the perfect backdrop for the cupcakes, rather than forego the breakfast pastries as she had first planned, she had now piled them onto trays at angles that lead the eyes to the tarts and cakes. Finally, on the table by the wall, with the London lights as a backdrop, they had set up the table with what would be this year’s Valentine’s menu. Strawberry & Champagne and Chocolate Heaven Cupcakes with champagne truffles, surrounded the Raspberry Kisses and the Red Velvet Heart Layer Cake, and though she still hadn’t decided whether to go with them or not, Melinda had also filled a couple of stands with chocolate covered strawberries and cheese cake stuffed raspberries. Even if they didn’t make it onto the Valentine’s Day menu, they still went perfectly with the champagne served from the make-shift bar right by the door.

With the wards in place, the rooftop was nice and warm, the music at a volume where you could talk – except on the area assigned as the dancefloor – and the fairy lights made it all seem, well, magical.

Marietta gave a simple nod and looked across the room to where Melinda stood and gave a simple nod. It was amazing how different they were when it came to socialization. She still didn't know what she'd done good in her life to deserve friends that stood by her no matter how horrible she was, and yes she'd done things that were considered horrible by many. In fact she still did things that she was certain many would find rather repulsive.

"Being reclusive has its good points," she conceded. "It leaves a bit of mystery that leaves people guessing. I honestly have very little respect for individuals who flaunt themselves before the media."

"It vorks for some people, I think. I haff friends who do not mind it. Myself, I find them far too intrusive most days for my tastes." Though occasionally they could be useful, if he was trying to promote a certain cause. But that was about it. He especially hated it when they focused on his children with little regard for their welfare.

"It is not so much the mystery that I aim for, simply the illusion of some kind of privacy."

	In her secondary line of work privacy was key. Honestly, with the public events she'd gone to with clients she was shockingly surprised that she had never been the focus of any written piece of work. "Privacy is definitely important," she agreed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He cast his gaze around the room and sipped at his drink. "So if you were to recommend one of the thigns here, vhat would it be?" he asked her curiously, figuring that since she was close with Melinda, she would know what to recommend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When the conversation turned to the fare of the evening she knew they were just about done with the small talk. "I'd venture that anything here that is to your taste would be worth recommending." She'd yet to have anything from Melinda that didn't sit well on her palate. "My favorites though tend to be anything with strawberry in it." (Reply to this) (Parent)
