Re: [nye party quicklog] Destiny's destiny is school. Or, well, whatever comes after, I guess. She's going back you know, to be a doctor. [All of this talking in third person felt like a game, and it made her smile despite the fact that if medical school was on the horizon, it was still so far off that Destiny couldn't see it. Right now, Wyatt was responsibility enough, and she didn't know if that was going to become easier or more difficult once she got him enrolled in school himself.
But it was New Years Eve, the perfect night to hold nothing but optimism for the future. So that was what she was going to do. The sparkling wine and party hats helped.]
Oh. [Her earthy eyes lit up with embellished discovery.] You are flirting with me, I get it now. [As if she had such little experience with the subject that it might take her this long to catch on. As if she hadn't started it by sitting in his lap. Flirting was fun because there was so little of it. Men weren't especially complimentary or sweet when they got what they were looking for at the exchange of a bill. He kept touching her hair, and every time that he did so, her smile bloomed just a little wider. She couldn't help it really, Destiny was transparent as a soap bubble. She couldn't manage cool mystery if her life depended on it.
Destiny was a runaway for good times, and there hadn't been a whole lot of those lately. She'd indulge in this one just a little, while it was sticking around to last.]
Well, nobody has asked me yet. If it is almost midnight then time is running out. Might just have to kiss the pig. [Hamlet, the pig, was currently scurrying between the feet of partygoers, excitedly devouring tortilla chips that had been lost to the carpet.]
And you? Did you find anyone? [Gaze on gaze, happy-hearted girl to unfamiliar boy.]
