The Beach: Wednesday Evening
The sun had just dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow across the beach as the first notes of music from Arden’s playlist filled the air. The waves gently lapped at the shore, creating a soothing backdrop to the area. Tiki torches and string lights were set up around the party area, their flickering and colorful light adding to the atmosphere.
The aroma of North Carolina barbecue filled the air, with a long table set up with all the fixings—pulled pork, coleslaw, hush puppies, and more. For those with different tastes, vegetarian and vegan dishes were also thoughtfully provided. Sweet tea was the main beverage, but for those craving something colder, Squishies were lined up next to the drinks cooler. The centerpiece of it all was a giant cupcake that Graham had brought all the way from Daventry for the occasion.
Games were scattered around the beach: volleyball nets, cornhole, frisbees, and even a few board games for those who preferred to sit back and relax. A bonfire crackled nearby, with cozy spots to sit and chat, perfect for those who wanted to enjoy the evening at a slower pace.
It was set up for a perfect evening, filled with good food, great company, and the kind of fun that comes from being surrounded by people. Yes, it was another surprise party, the kind that shouldn’t be a surprise anymore, really. But that’s the point of parties—to celebrate the people you care about. And tonight, it was all about Arden.

Re: Surprise!
Time for a hug, Arden, sorry not sorry.
Re: Surprise!
"Thank you, Belle!" Arden said, hugging her right back.
Re: Surprise!
"I hope you're enjoying yourself. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the party you had for Cal the other day
but life was dumb that day. But I wouldn't have missed this!"Re: Surprise!
Re: Surprise!
"I'm looking forward to trying all the food. It smells wonderful."
Belle was already perfectly content to drink sweet tea. Perhaps she'd be a barbecue convert!
Re: Surprise!
"Dean got it from this amazing place in North Carolina and brought it back," Arden said. "You're getting real Southern barbeque!"
Re: Surprise!
"Did he travel just to bring you food for your birthday? That's lovely!"
