Who EVERYONE!
What: Charity Event; Live Auction!
When: Starting @ 6pm
Where: Boston Harbor Hotel
Open? Yes!

The Boston Harbor Hotel had grown in reputation over the last few years, and had easily become a popular spot to host lavish parties, ones that looked out over the Boston Harbor. Another reputation the hotel had garnered for itself was its work with charity organizations. Parties generally coincided with reputable charities, and often joined with such establishments as the Boston Medical Center or the Police Department.

Tonight's event was celebrating the ten year anniversary of the hotel's first unveiling in Boston. The elite of the city were invited to dine and dance in the biggest ballroom the hotel had to offer. But in a town with rivaling mob families, it's only a matter of time before civility runs out.

[[ooc: auction will be announced later if that is indeed what y'all want to do!]]

That familiar voice caught his attention much more quickly than the consistant droning of someone making a diligent, however lacking effort to impress him with what all had gone into the function. It wasn't like it was a particular interest; Just something to pass the time with a smile on his face to match. He nodded to who he had been speaking with, breaking the conversation with a simple turn in her direction.

"Carly Morgan. Pleasure to see you again." He replied, that smile on his face much more genuine than the last as he leaned in, giving her a quick kiss to each cheek. Pulling back, his eye gave an once-over to her attire for the evening - from the bare shoulders to the bottom hem of dress. "And I must say, you look absolutely dazzling this evening."

It was always a nice surprise to see a familiar face at an event like this. Her cheeks began feeling warm. It had been a while since she had the chance to dress up and wow a room. She let out a soft laugh, her hand pressing against her chest. "Thank you. You look rather charming yourself." she spoke. He looked sharp in his attire, but after all, he always seemed to look and speak like the perfect gentleman.

"It has been too long Tristan. How is everything with the winery?" she asked, bringing the glass of champagne to her lips and sipping it.

Tristan turned his eyes away for a second, trying to spot the server with the tray of champagne to grab a glass himself. It was either that or go to the bar to get himself some wine which he would've rather not bothered given the welcome company and time to catch up. He caught the server, making sure to gauge where she was so he could snag one once she walked by again.

"Far, far too long." Tristan replied, eyes returning to Carly. "The winery is running smoothly as usual. Always does a little better during the holiday season." He hadn't wanted to start spewing about business ventures no matter how much they were ready to just slip out of his mouth, giving her another smile.

"And how are things with you? Good, I hope."

She eyes followed him as he grabbed himself a glass of champagne and returned to her side. She smiled, sipping and nodding at his comments about the winery. Of course it was good new to her. She had always had a friendship with Tristan, and only wished the best for him. Sliding a few curls behind her ear, she exhaled before speaking. "Everything is wonderful. Just been working, and that's about it." she said, shrugging. There was really nothing else to it. Her job(s) were pretty much her life lately.

"Just thought it would be nice to crawl out of my little hole for the evening and enjoy myself..." she said with a smile covering her lips. "Cheers to that." she said, toasting her glass against his. "Seeing anyone I might know?" she asked. She was never one to pry, but they had a somewhat trusting and close relationship.

"Cheers." He held up the glass, ears listening in to the clink before he took that first sip. Not bad. Tristan nodded - If there was one thing he knew first hand was working all the time, plenty of his time spent in winery or loan matters. The second question made him laugh lightly, glancing down to the ground with a toothy smile on his face.

"Oh no, no -- I'm not seeing anyone at the moment." It was a surprise even to him, but that certainly didn't mean he wasn't scoping the field, trying to find that one girl that caught his attention more than the rest. Rio, for the moment, had been the one, but he had yet to see her again since their meeting in the Marino restaurant.

"After Tasha, I've pretty much steered clear. Took some time for myself, I guess." He explained, shrugging slightly as if it was really no deal despite all that had happened between the two. "How about you? Any lucky fellow?"

She nodded, the glasses making a sound as they touched. She took a sip before smiling at him. She had known Tasha oh too well. Though they were on a good note as of late, they really did not start off on the right foot. But, the past was the past. "Good to hear. I know sometimes girl can be a little high maintenance.." she said with a laugh, bringing the glass to her lips again for a sip.

"Me? Oh goodness no." she said, laughing out. "I don't have time for men. And even if I did, I never seem to find the good ones." she spoke. She never had really good luck with men. She seemed to always fall for the bad guy.

He nodded, all too knowingly. "As I'm sure even some guys can be high maintenance." Always in their significant other's business, trying to figure out everything and anything just to see where he could worm some attention in. He laughed lightly, taking another sip from the glass. There had been one other after Tasha, but that was one of those stories the likes of him wouldn't tell even to his closest friends.

"They're just hiding out there somewhere. I'm sure when the right one rolls around, he'll hold on and won't let go." Tristan replied with a smile, not all that surprised that somehow the bad ones made their faces more known. Boston was filled with them, probably more than the good ones. Tristan even didn't peg himself as one of the good ones, but there was a big difference between his relationships with others and his relationship with her: Carly was one of his better friends.

"Who knows," He said, giving another glance around, "Could very well be in this room." The comment gained a small laugh, too knowing of the potential faces showing up, but one never knew for sure.

Carly laughed as well, glancing around the room. "I know what you mean. I'm not looking, but if the perfect man walked up to me tonight, I would not protest." she said, pulling her hair back behind her ears as she look another sip of her champagne. "But beyond that, It is going to be a good evening, I can tell." she said softly, smiling at him. It had been long deserved that she spend a night out with some real people.

She cleared her throat softly, placing her other hand against her arm softly. It was nice to sit back and relax. She grabbed a second glass of champagne as hers ran empty. "And who knows, your dream woman could be standing somewhere as well.."she said, laughing softly.

"I sure hope so." Tristan replied; There was nothing that told him it would be otherwise, but the evening was just getting started and who knew what would happen once everyone had a drink or two in them and the night wore on. Whatever the case, he didn't doubt he would have some fun, maybe get in a dance or two and a good meal.

He let out a small chuckle, holding up his glass for a second. "You never know. Then again, with my luck, Mr. Perfect and Mrs. Perfect would arrive together -- A couple and everything." He joked.

She let out a laugh. "That would be quiet the twist I would have to say." she stated, bringing the glass to her lips again as she took a sip. "Your luck and mine. I have such bad luck. Its sad." she said softly with a nod. Whether it was men, or accidents, she was never the best in situations. But that didn't stop her from doing as she pleased.

"Oh well. Someone's bound to come along. No point crying bout it." She nodded again, smiling.

	He tried not to think of things as lucky or not, but he was sure he had a little to go relatively unharmed in the bank exposion and keep buisness up to par at least. Lucky in life, not so lucky in love. He could manage. "Of course not. Might as well have fun while you can." Tristan replied, setting the now empty glass on a tray as a server passed by.
