Before the Gala

Meegan paced restlessly as she watched the finishing touches fall into place. Her pale gold Christian Dior floor length gown rustled softly as she crossed the three feet of floor she had claimed. She smiled slightly as she looked over the Ballroom.

The place looked spectacular. The room was fully opened and the walls had been draped with a white gossamer fabric and little white fairy lights had been twined in around and behind the fabric. Three of the four walls held a long regtangular table upon which the items for the silent auction had been placed. Before each item was place a description card and a bidding book.

The round tables, upon which dinner would be served, were draped in their classic white linens with gold chargers at each place and a center piece of white roses entwined with fairy lights.

The center of the floor held half a dance floor and the other half was taken up by a runway stage for the evening ending fashion show. The back wall was draped off and from behind the drapes could be heard the frantic huslte and bustle of pre-show.

The caterer in his white chef's coat crossed to her with a glass of champagne and a smile.


"You have done well, Ms. Masters. It will be a spectacular evening."

She took the flute from him and returned his smile, her stomach doing its normal flip-flops. "That you Carl, I certainly hope so."

"Well I must get back to the kitchen. Break a leg, doll." He squeezed her arm and with a wink and a smile returned to the kitchen. Meegan returned to her pacing, there was only an hour left after all.
