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.

"Oh goddess, yes please" Arden said with immediate relief. "I'd fuckin' love some visual guidance."

"I'll get to work on that after the party," Gray promised her, because he didn't know a ton about girls but he knew, say, Castor would have wanted plenty of time to shop.

The reference photos he would be sending her over the next few days would range from 'sparkly mini dress!' to 'strategically placed straps' so...Arden really did have a range of options to choose from.

And that was plenty to give her something to work from, with her outfit likely being somewhere in the middle of those two.

"I'm really looking forward to this," Arden said, giving an excited little shimmy. "We're going to have a blast."
