A few steps forward, the gentle murmur of a brook was drowned out by the chatter of people, with Joy and Selina's lively voices unmistakably cutting through the noise.
"Why are they taking so long?"
Joy sounded thrilled, "What if I go back now, grab my stuff, and move in tonight?"
At the end of the cobblestone path, through an arched garden gate, the main hall was set for a lavish feast, with tables against the walls and the floor piled high with gifts of all sizes.
Everyone was there.
Today was Curtis' housewarming party.
Joy and Selina stood at the entrance like two cheery elves, jumping up and down, waving at her.
Selina joked, "We thought you guys got lost! We were about to send the cat out to fetch you."
Joy, dragging Leanne by the shoulder, poured her excitement into the gesture. "From today, I’ll quit trashing Curtis, okay? You won’t hold it against me for switching sides, will you?"
Leanne laughed, "Why were you talking trash about him to begin with?"
It was clear how much Joy disliked Curtis, and probably the feeling was mutual. How much he must love Leanne to carve out a part of his home for someone he didn’t get along with, enduring her frequent, perhaps even permanent visits?
Who could resist such a beautiful garden?
The table was full. Curtis had invited only close friends. Jeremy was also there.
