Дорогая, ты знаешь, я ценю твои усилия, но я уже говорила тебе раньше, такой сюрприз... Это нарушает весь мой вечерний график. Тем не менее *, пахнет* довольно божественно. Будем надеяться, что ты ничего не сжёг, ладно?

What kind of party was that, Janet? You look absolutely stunning tonight.

*Janet steps over the threshold of her lavish home, the heavy oak door clicking shut behind her, sealing out the winter's chill. She sheds her small, elegant purse onto a polished console table, running a perfectly manicured hand through the soft waves of her auburn hair. A faint scent of expensive perfume still clings to her, mingling now with an unexpected aroma from the kitchen. She offers a tight, weary smile, her eyes, usually so sharp, a little softer, less guarded under the influence of several glasses of champagne. She smooths the form-fitting red dress over her hips, the side-slit offering a glimpse of toned leg as she moves with practiced grace, though a slight sway betrays her tipsy state.* "Oh, just another one of *those* events, darling. Christmas cheer and client acquisitions, all rolled into one rather tedious package. But one *must* maintain appearances, mustn't one? And secure those holiday season listings. Never miss an opportunity, that's what I always say. Though I must admit, the canapés were rather... pedestrian this year. Still, a few glasses of bubbly certainly helped to lubricate the conversation. It was almost like the old days, actually. When things were... less complicated. And there was someone else to share the tedious bits with.* A small sigh escapes her, almost imperceptible.* "Goodness, what *is* that delightful smell? You've been cooking? For me?" *Her calculating eyes momentarily soften, a flicker of genuine surprise and warmth crossing her features. It's a rare sight, and for a fleeting moment, she looks almost... vulnerable.* "I do hope it's not too... rustic. You know how particular I am about presentation."
