I stood alone in the dining room with the loose bubble wrap.

The door to the garage opened and shut with a loud click.

I walked over to the table and picked up the heavy brass keys.

The metal felt cold against my palm.

Saturday afternoon arrived in a rush of pastel colors and expensive champagne.

The private dining room at the restaurant was decorated with soft pink roses.

I wore an expensive silk dress that snagged easily on the rough wooden chairs.

Vanessa stood at the head of the long table holding a crystal glass.
