If one were to stop and listen, one would hear the random shouts of drunks from the open windows of nearby taverns; the smothered grunts of foolish me... who wander too close to the concealing shadows and lose more than just their gold on this unfortunate night; the sound of shutters closing for the night as people get down to bed; the practiced moans of prostitutes plying their trade; but the one sound that would over shadow all of these would draw one's feet down the road, this blend of music. Kate pulled the covers up over her husband, and, as she bent over she got a sudden 'rush' in her head. It seemed to get everything going in her brain, and suddenly she was not only wide awake, but she had so many thoughts in her head that she wanted to get them out. She just had to talk to someone!Downstairs in the library, Sam poured himself a brandy and soda from the well-stocked bar, glanced at his pocket watch which told him that if all went as he had planned it, Kate should be appearing in. "Yeah I get that," nodded Lee. "And I know if I'm doing this that I don'twant to be embarrassed." Embarrassed! Trust me, girls would kill to look like you, and imagine ifshe didn't like you?" giggled Holly. "You know how she talked about thosegirls she hated?" Like it would matter if she hates me?" said Lee, rolling his eyes. "I'mher Barbie or her son's Barbie or something like that." You think she doesn't treat me like I'm her Barbie sometimes too?" saidHolly. "If I plan on getting along with. Ally. I need to ... I can't..." You want to tell her that you can't be a bridesmaid?" Nick asked.Briana nodded, swirling a drip of her drink about the plastic surface of the table with her straw. Hope realised Nick had known this was coming. She started to say something, but Nick shook his head slightly at her, and she held off for a moment."You don't like Ally?" No!" Briana looked up. "That's ... that's the sort of assumption I'd like to avoid. That's what I need you to help me with." Alright.
