PARTAYY ~ OPEN TO ALL
Glenda pressed her lips together to produce a small laugh, brushing the old wizard's shoulder in front of her in a warm manner as he laughed at his joke. It was a rather amusing story about a niffler and a mackled malaclaw, but the night was starting to wear her down. Any WWN party, whether it be under the façade of a birthday bash or not, was always apart of the public relations machine. Tonight was certainly no exception, though it did give her an excuse to wander (and drink) as much as she pleased. Under that pretense, she gave a quick pat to her new acquaintance and walked off before he had a chance to contest.

There was also this aging business that she couldn't help avoid either. Turning older when she already felt ancient was a strange feeling; it felt doubly so every time another announced her general youth. Twenty-three and already so popular! Twenty-three with such a name! Twenty-three, what a bright future laid ahead! They all conveniently forgot to realize that she was still twenty-two, and really nothing of their kind words made any sense to her, but what could she do if they wanted to tell her these things? It was good that she had perfect her smiling and nodding years ago.

This party wasn't all that bad, honestly. The WWN had actually invited some of her old friends, in addition to people she was sure she had never met in her life, but that didn't bother her. It was.... nice. And a bit frightening. Well, frightening for the prospect of one person, which Glenda still wasn't sure if she was actively or passively avoiding after all these months without knowledge of whether or not he was even here... it did not matter! She was an adult. They were adults, there was no reason why---

Merlin he was here. There he was! Was she losing feeling in her legs? Feeling very much caught, Glenda stood frozen, even unable to think of going about executing a quick get away. Maybe he wouldn't see her, or felt just as awful as she had been feeling and would continue to prolong their eventual remeeting! That was a pretty awful thing to say about your best friend, wasn't it?

She had something very important to tell Edward. Graciela could have told him at home, in the warmth of his arms, but she had decided that maybe it was time for a little fun, and she made sure she was dressed up and looking her prettiest. She knew that Edward would not care if she were wearing a potato sack, but sometimes a girl liked to look nice, and she liked to tease her boyfriend.

Boyfriend, her boyfriend. The word did not seem to encompass how she really felt about Edward. She wanted to spend the rest of her life with this man, she wanted to have children with him, she wanted to have his babies. That was more than a boyfriend, but she was too nervous about ruining all the beautiful things they had together to make a move for the next step. She had promised herself that she would not jump into things like she had with Alex, but it was getting harder and harder not to admit her ache for more children, and for her last name to be changed to Pennifold.

Maybe, maybe, her surprise would make things more obvious to Edward. He was a very logical man, and maybe it was straight to the point that he would understand that she was ready to take this next step. Graciela knew he was in a strange situation; she had been married before, she had a child, but she wanted him to know that she'd never really felt like this for anyone, that---

"You look very handsome," she said, interrupting her own thoughts as they danced. Graciela smiled and pushed up on her toes to kiss Edward fully.

But it was her that out shown him! Graciela's beauty struck Edward, it always had, but since they had known each other for so long, he hadn't hardly been able to appropriately state that to her until their more recent years. It made him immensely happy that he could, now, not only because he felt that she needed to know every second of everyday, but because it was what he thought, and one should never keep ones emotions and thoughts locked away for all time. How would anyone ever connect with people? Getting things off your chests, he constantly told his writers, was one of the keys to inspirational success!

"You are, as always, incredibly beautiful," he smiled, leaning in toward her to steal another kiss. There was absolutely nothing Edward wanted to change about his life, right now. Everything had fallen into place, practically perfectly especially for someone like him who appeared to be socially challenged sixty percent of the time. There was nothing more he could want, nothing more he would want, and this image of the two of them dancing among friends and colleagues was one Edward never wanted to forget, or end.

"I am very happy right now," Edward said suddenly, feeling it was very important to say at this moment. "You are too, aren't you?" It also never hurt to check. He held onto Graciela tight, interlacing one of his hand's fingers into hers as they swayed.

He made her heart run, race, whatever the correct phrase was. Graciela's eyes shone with the excitement of just being in his arms, and she felt herself grow warm at his compliment and his admittance of happiness. It was so wonderful to be the reason for someone's joy, it was a feeling she had once thought she'd never have again. Edward was a Godsend, Graciela had never imagined she would be so lucky to find someone who fit so perfectly into her life, into Zacharias', but here he was, and so very willing to be in it.

"I am the happiest I have ever been," Graciela said, breathless even though they were not moving fast at all. Her mind was nearly wiped clean save for Edward's smile, though it was more his lips that had captivated her attention. She gripped onto his hand and hoped that the song would not end. She let her mind wander and get lost in Edward and her thoughts, but she a turn she was reminded of her earlier thoughts. Graciela managed to push closer to him, hopefully being discreet enough for their rather public positions, and lowered her voice.

"I have a surprise for you," she said, smiling broadly, "I have decided on a dedication for my book." Graciela felt so relieved to finally reveal this; Edward knew her superstitions, her book was not finished until she gave it to someone in that particular sense. It was the final piece of her writing process, it was the sign that she was proud and sure of her work.

"Would you like to hear it?"
