Who: Bruce, Dinah, all friends and family of Dinah and their dates.
When: April 16, 2014
Where: Wayne Manor, Gotham
What: Dinah's birthday celebration, post-press conference
It was a much smaller party than Wayne Manor had hosted in some years. No extra staff had been hired, and in fact, Alfred was constantly encouraged to 'relax', and 'have a drink'.
Long buffet tables of food had been set up around the pool room, filled with Dinah's favorite foods, including, sushi; sliders, with bacon and cheese; cheesecake; chicken Parmesan rolls; lemon bars; pork ribs, Lexington North Carolina style; and of course - birthday eclairs.
The doors leading to the patio were open, and the rose garden beyond had been decorated with brightly colored paper lanterns that glittered everywhere. Heat lamps had been evenly spaced along the patio, and a karaoke machine had been set up before an archway leading into the lower courtyard - something that had never been done before at Wayne Manor. Lastly, a bar (the only manned station of the event, by Alfred himself), fully stocked with anything anyone could wish for, stood in one corner of the pool room. This was ostensibly so that everyone could find it easily, but Bruce suspected it was so Alfred could monitor everyone else, just in case.
In his black trunks and a short sleeve black button shirt that was open over a white t-shirt, Bruce sat in a nearby chaise and surveyed the scene. It wasn't his usual sort of gathering, nor his preferred way to spend his time at all, but it was for Dinah, and seeing her happy - after everything that she'd been through lately - made him happy, too. He could eat a suspiciously small cheeseburger for that.
Happy birthday, Dinah.
