Once in a while you just need those kinds of nights that are parodied in movies and books. The kind where it's all girls and you cook ornate food and sip on wine out of jars and make everything look pretty. And your friends bring the hostess flowers, because that's what is right, and others supply the alcohol, and before you know it everyone is rosy cheeked and laughing over desserts eaten straight from the plastic containers with forks gone in seconds. At the end of the night you do the dishes and you straighten the chairs and all that remains are those empty cake boxes and the empty bottles and a feeling of calm and quiet because you've talked more than you have in a long time.
