WHERE: Cordelia & Cage's Wedding WHEN: October 19, 2024 WHO: Riddy & @steviemaylane

riddy had been meaning to visit stevie for ages, but her hectic schedule kept her a bit out of the loop. however, she spotted her friend’s golden locks from afar, seeing her near the bonfire while some lively country music played on the dance floor. " hey, girl! " she chimed with a grin, greeting eli and handing him some snacks she’d picked up. “ how’s it going, mate? you’re growing up way too fast—stop it, please! ” she lamented dramatically, laughing before turning back to her friend. “ you, me, dance floor, ok? we’re going! put down your drink and grant me the honour, ma'am! ”

“ darling, there’s no doubt about it! you’re going to age like a fine wine. one of the posh ones, mind! ” she assured her with a low chuckle. then she eyed the dress, and naturally, her friend’s boobs. she sucked in her cheeks, nibbling them in a vain attempt to hold back her playful thoughts. “ sweetheart, you’re an absolute vision. utterly perfect. i reckon wearing that, you won’t be just cute like me, but a proper femme fatale, and i’d wager a few hearts won’t survive the night! ” she whispered, leaning in closer to murmur in her ear, “ your boobs are gonna look lush in that—think megan fox in jonah hex, that'll be you! ” her big, pleading eyes followed elijah, almost whining as she made her friend’s kid promise to bring her some sweets. and then, they were on the dance floor, riddy holding stevie’s hands in a clumsy but playful attempt to make her dance. “ look… no pressure, but even the old couples are pulling off bolder moves than us, ” she tried to hold back her laughter, blushing as she let out a shrill giggle. “ oi, if I leg it, d’you really think you’ll stay? i need you—and elijah! who else is going to eat junk with me and plot schemes? ”

elijah's cheeked turned pink in second hand embarassment for his momma, while stevie rolled her eyes harder at her friend. "at least i'm gonna look great when i'm in my fifties." she shrugged, and laughed at the sudden change of topic. "yes! they are! but only if you let me borrow that dress. though I doubt i'll be able to fill it out as wonderfully as you. my boobs will definitely not fit that. though, you do look gorgeous." at that sentence, her son decided to walk away to go towards the dessert table and stevie had to remind him not to go far and if he did that he needed to let her know. stevie almost tripped getting dragged towards the floor, and shook her head. "oh no, no. I do not remember the footloose dance, but I'd love to see you try and vanish. I won't let you!"

“ eli, i don’t think you can claim victory on this one, ” she mused, fingers resting thoughtfully under her chin before leaning forward. “ pretty much everyone’s taller than her. ” she burst out in a playful cackle, casting an apologetic glance at her friend. “ before you start with your excuses—oh my days, you look stunning! are those earrings part of the ‘things friends can borrow’ deal? ” riddy’s eyes rolled as she sang out, “nonsense,” grabbing her friend’s hand and dragging her towards the dance floor. “ for our sake, i really hope you remember the footloose dance, or this is going to be a cringey disaster, and i’ll vanish, never to be seen again in this town! ”

she was doing her best to keep herself busy, and tried to also stay near her son just to use him as a buffer if need be. glancing over at the voice that came up next to her, her face lit up for a second. it had been a while since she had seen riddy, and honestly, the energy was what she needed right now. eli grinned at stevie's friend before speaking matter of factly, "i'm taller than my momma now." which made stevie roll her eyes. "oh no no no. I don't dance." she shook her head, the earrings dangling in her ears.
