[ nothing about this place is the kind of thing dani is used to, but this party at least reminds her of some of the parties she's gone to in new york — the kind her father could never know she's gone to, the kind the gossip mags would have a field day with if they found out about it. dani's never cared much about her reputation, but she's been aware of it.

here, no one knows her, but people will get to know her. she has no reputation yet. it's both freeing and odd, but for the evening, she puts it out of her mind. whatever else is going on, her father isn't here. so she samples some of the food and more of the drinks and lets herself go from tipsy to pleasantly drunk, smiling at anyone who might catch her eye.

at some point, she's inspecting toys, lifting a vibrator and turning it on, letting out a pleased laugh when it hums loudly in the room. if someone is standing near her, especially if it's someone handsome, she'll let the smile linger on her lips. ] Want to help me test this out?
