Re: Susan + Charlie
Susan brought the champagne flute to her lips and took a sip, letting the bubbles burst and play pleasantly before she swallowed.
"Thank you. I am quite proud. It's not all the time one's set with the task of planning a Ball." It had been a trying week and she'd nearly lost her temper on more than one occasion. But the fruits of her labour seemed to delight the crowd. Charlie's breath on her ear made her shiver and smile at him.
"This is a pretty high bar to set, but I did enjoy our little chance meeting just as much." And then she remembered afterward, in the rain. That was the cherry on top.
