"Knock, knock!" came the cheerful voice of her co-conspirator and Kami reappeared in the doorway with a big smile and her own changed look. After helping with the set-up and using every single skill she possessed in the cosmetic arts on her friend, she had excused herself and returned to her own sixth floor apartment. Now, less than thirty minutes later, she returned in a heightened state of adorability. Skipping through the door, she dropped her little white cardigan over the back of a chair and gave a little pirouette for Linnaea's benefit, displaying her rather retro black and white dress proudly. The skirt flared out slightly at the movement, accompanied by the smart clicks of her high heels as she turned. A stark counterpoint, they gleamed a festive cherry red patent leather.
Reaching up, Kami tucked a loose dark curl behind her ear, not bothering to attempt its return to her haphazard updo. "Do you need anything else?" she asked. "I have more cupcakes and things up at my place if you think we need them." She grinned. "Just remember that those lemon bars are for you and you alone, sweetie. No sharing!"
