the cadencing lights oscillated from each wall of the lake house, swallowing the profusion of exorbitant individuals who were scattered around the house ; kaleidoscopic lights illuminating the faces around her. she made her way through the throngs of grinding bodies, making sure to stop and chat with a few people, a cup of a saccharine concoction coiled within her grasp, doe-like eyes widening as she meandered out of the tight-knit room, and made her way for the balcony since a breath of fresh air seemed lovely right about that moment. ❝ —— Oh, m'sorry!
