Jason did another lap of the room. His chocolate eyes scanned the crowd for the fourth time. The majority of the guests were standing with a glass of wine in one hand, talking happily amongst themselves. A few of Jason’s rowdier friends were already making idiots of themselves on the dance-floor.
Jason glanced nervously at his watch.
Where is she?
Jason caught sight of his mother standing alone by the bar. Her hair was pulled in to a severe bun at the crown of her head, and she was wearing the type of black gown one might witness at a funeral.
Elnora looked fiercely at her son and pursed her lips. Jason watched, helplessly as she stalked over to him.
The two stood stiffly next to each other. Elnora didn’t even turn her head towards her son as she practically spat her question.
“Where is she?!” she hissed, her eyes blazing and her nostrils flared.
Jason couldn’t help but notice how much his mother resembled a snake when she pulled that particular expression.

Alice considered herself in the mirror a final time.
She had done her best to restrain her hair, and it had partially worked. The tresses were no long a frizzy mane, sticking out in all directions, but a relatively large mass of smooth loopy, gold curls.
Her makeup was simple. But the lime green of her eyes stood out against the soft grey and mauve of her eyeshadow.
The short woman let her gaze travel down from her face, to the dress that hugged her body lovingly.
It’s fabric, a floaty combination of silk and chiffon, in lilac and mauve. It clung to every curve and contour in a soft flattering way, and extended half way down the woman’s thighs, in delicate layers.
Alice finally decided she looked okay and peeked at her bedside clock. She was now 20 minutes late.

“Sorry! Sorry! I’m S-”
“It’s okay!” Jason grinned, interrupting his wife mid-sentence as she almost toppled over from semi-running, in her five inch heels. She looked amazing. It was enough for him to forgive her lateness.
Alice straightened herself up, shuffling slightly in different directions as she regained her balance.
