Dutch loved going to parties. She loved the free food, the music, and she especially loved the free alcohol. She was able to snag a last minute ticket to the premiere of the Valiant Fisherman’s Demise, which was an interesting film. It did get a little more interesting when she started to watch the film through her spyglass. After the film ended, credits and all, she started to follow the crowd to the after party that was nearby. She pulled out a cigarette and took a drag when someone looked at her. “Did you want to share?” she asked with a smile. “Plenty to go around.” She held her cigarette out to them.
Kitty spent the premiere in the back row of the theater with a bag of fresh popcorn and a fizzy soda. She liked the cinema, liked sitting in the dark with strangers and letting her mind go. Parties were a different story. She’d go for the free food and drinks, but she doubted any of the fancy uptown city people would find her company amusing. She dallied outside with the crowd in no rush to make it to the after party and nodded at the strangers offered cigarette. “Definitely.” She took a drag, sighing on her exhale. “You think they got some chocolate at premiere’s like this.”
