Alex showed up at the BBQ a little later than she had intended, but that was because she decided to make some whipped cream and stop to buy some fruit last minute. She was contributing sugary sweets; she might as well bring in a healthy option as well. She dolled herself up in a short red and white polka-dot halter dress, pin-up style, and matching red ballet pumps. Underneath it all was a polka dot bikini, since she'd heard there was a pool. Balancing two pies and a cake, as well as a container of fruit, was a bit of an effort, but she managed to get from her car to the food table. With great care, she tried to shift so she could put something down to ease her burden.
Her view blocked by cake, Alex had no idea who was standing nearby, but she saw a pair of feet. "'Scuse me, would you mind helping me set these down?" If she had known who would be answering and assisting, she would have chanced dropping everything and done it herself instead.
