Erin closed the bedroom door behind her with a soft click. She was wearing red. A lot of red. A red dress, red shoes, red lipstick and even some red eyeshadow. It was overkill, really, but she was excited. Very excited. Heels clicked down the stairs as she hurried to the door. That was her destination! And once she got there she pulled the door open with a smile.
Hair a mess of curls, she pushed it out of her face to let in the caterers, all dressed in white and carrying trays. "Nice to meet you! Come in, come in... I'll show you to the dining room." Erin led them through the hall and into the dining room, pointing out the table she had set up to hold the food. She figured people would be coming and going and it would be best to have it be buffet style.
The three caterers hurried to work, laying white linens with pink overlays and setting out the trays on those little racks with the small flames underneath. It was very official looking.
Leaving the staff to their work, Erin worked on ambiance. She had gathered records for the event and settled on a selection of crooners. Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, etc. She had set the record player in the drawing room, starting her particular favorite Sinatra tune as she readied the bar. It was almost time for people to start arriving, and Erin was nervous.
