CHRISTMAS PARTY [BACKDATED TO 23RD]

After making a quick stop to check on the children upstairs (Anthony and Elijah looked so precious), Mackenzie continued on her normal perimeter around the party. Ensuring there was enough food and drink for everyone was extremely important, as well as making sure that no-one was left standing by themselves too long. That would hardly promote good review upon later reminiscing among their guests. But luckily, neither of these issues had seem to come up yet, leaving her with little host responsibilities.

So that left Mackenzie practically purring, as she had been for most of the night. The party could not be going better. The house looked beautiful thanks to her near-obsessive decorating, Christmas spirit was in full swing, and everyone looked like they were truly enjoying themselves. Nothing could go wrong, absolutely nothing, making Mackenzie feel her happiest in what seemed like a very long time. This had been a very good idea! Maybe if things continued like this, she could convince Sebastian to make this their annual holiday tradition...

Couldn't be too careful, though. Just for good measure, Mackenzie picked a few of her husband's favorite hors d'oeuvres as they passed by above, placing them on a plate. Finding him was easy; ever since she had gotten back, Sebastian had replaced her shadow. Not in a bad or stifling way, but in more of a supporting kind of way. She knew he was worried.

"I have a present for you," she smiled, producing the plate with one hand as the other wrapped around his open arm.

There might have been a bit too many drinks accessible to Edward during the night, and because of that, he definitely felt much lighter than usual. It was such a relaxing feeling! Suddenly, everything was worth a big smile and, not to mention, much more amusing.

Of course, Edward had been drunk before, it was just too far and in between for him to realize it in that second. That was probably for the better though-- or else he would have been horrified with his rather... lax self.

Taking a deep breath, Edward swung backward to pick up a lost pig-in-a-blanket on the ground. While coming back up to regular stature, he spotted a familiar face. Putting the plate in his hands on a nearby table, he quickly made his way over to her.

"Graciela!" he smiled, tapping her on the shoulder as he approached her from behind. "I didn't know you were here, I hadn't seen you!"

She jumped, having thought she had found a place of solitude away from the party and---of course it was Edward. Graciela's face flushed deeply; he looked very handsome and he was smiling so brightly that it excited her. Could he be that excited to see her, or was he in good spirits because of the party? Maybe both? Maybe he had too much to drink? The thoughts raced through her head quickly and Graciela forced herself not to play with her hair, like she normally did when nervous. Lately, Edward made her quite nervous.

---ay, especially now. Her ex-husband was just beyond the door of the kitchen, and the man she was currently secretly pining for was smiling stupidly at her within a very close proximity. What if Alex came in here and saw the two of them, alone in the kitchen? They were not doing anything, even though the thought of doing something made her face flush even deeper and---

"Here I am!" she let out weakly, putting her hands up with a shaky smile. Graciela let her shoulders relax and managed a more natural smile toward Edward. If anything, he was a very good friend, and she should be happy to see him so close to the holidays. "You are having fun, yes?"
