Rory glanced out over the floor, wondering when might be a good time to get in some dancing himself. A Pippa-twinge came with the thought, which he didn't so much stifle as acknowledge and set aside. There would be many such twinges in the coming months, he could tell.
Peter's comment about women brought his attention back to the table in time to see Sascha stick out her tongue and smirk. "Be nice, Peter, or I'll be forced to give you chapter and verse on all the insane men I've dated -- ooo!"
She'd spotted the box next to her drink. After checking the gift tag, she gave Rory a smile and an "Aw, thank you, o intrepid leader!" Once she got the box open to reveal the contents, she immediately set about removing the silver hoops in her ears so she could dangle a charm from each one, reading the cards that described the meaning of each symbol as she did so.
Rory smiled at her reaction. Twinges or no, tonight was a party. "Just think of them as wishes for the New Year."
