The front door opens.

The front door closes. Except, at the last moment, the pointed toe of a tall, black Prada boot wedges between the door and the door jam.

Candice shoulders the door open and steps the rest of the way inside. She takes one look at her surroundings and snorts. "Whatever."

And steals a martini from a passing wait rat.

Jamie admires the deft theft of the martini.

"Nice form," he compliments.

She sips and winks. "French judge would still give me a 7. Frogs, you know?"

Jamie grins back, and agrees, "You'd lose two points straight off for not having had the taste to wait for a bottle of posh champagne."

[shimmershift]

"Exactly."

Beat.

"Aren't you a little too young to get that joke, midget?" She lifts her eyebrows at Jamie, and has just a bit of a smile.
