thought she needed it. the parties. the people. the crowd. the music and the alcohol. thought she might have missed it more, because it had always been part of her life, ever since she was old enough. ( hell, even before that, if she is honest. her mom's place had no lack of parties happening when she grew up, people, mainly men coming and going at odd hours. ) but they're here now, at a party trown at one of the tommen boys' house, and they had gone because aoife and joey would be here. a night out, without kids hanging off their arms. and she had enjoyed it, for a time. talking to her best friend, dancing with alec to some slow song that ended in a rather heated makeout session. but all of that, it wasn't a need for a party. not really. now she is sitting on the kitchen counter, the music a little muffled in the background and he stand between her thighs, nose nuzzling against her cheek. her arms wrapped around the back of his neck, softly humming the tones along to the music, eyes closed and completly relaxed against him. " can we go home ? " low mumble after a little while, as fingers gingerly thread through his hair.
