Beach BBQ [Open]

[asharpertongue]

Levi's idea for a beach party had been a good one. After the past few weeks they both needed to blow off a little steam and Lara had taken to the idea like the proverbial siren to water, inviting all her employees and friends. Levi had put the word out at the police station and among his closer friends so between them a decent crowd was forming.

The tables lining the beach were piled high with food and drink, a DJ was already in full swing and people were drifting over to the large bonfire for warmth as the chill started to cut through the summer evening. A few of the Heart of Gold employees had brought their kids along for the festivities and a friend of Lara's was performing little glamours and tricks to keep them entertained. Large clusters of huge pillows were dotted about the beach just a little way from Levi's house and lanterns and firelight bathed the whole area in a warm glow.

Maybe Lara had taken it a little far but she liked to treat her friends and everyone could use a little R&R.

OOC: Levi and Lara's friends have been officially invited, but everyone else feel free to wander in at your leisure~.

Corrine nods. His offer of support is more than she can express. There are some things... however much Les is there for her. Or Lara. There are some dark places she never wants them to know. That they're better off never getting a glimpse of. Maybe one day she and Emily can find solace in one another, but for now, at least there's someone else who understands.

She digs her toes deeper into the sand. "Its such a farce. That saying that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger." She finds a piece of driftwood and picks it up, turning it in her hands. Finding a focal point for her words. "Sure, maybe our defenses are stronger. But that doesn't change the cracks at our foundation that threaten to break at any moment - with one wrong step or a heavy gust of wind." It sounds like a line in a movie. Sometimes she isn't sure where actress Corrine ends and real Corrine begins. But actress Corrine would never let herself be seen so vulnerable. That's what all the booze and pills were for.

She tosses the stick into the sea, watches as it falls beneath the dark waves. Turns to Spencer with a small smile. "Come on. I bet they have ice cream back up at the party."
