Henry spent eight hours on Kathryn's hair. When he learnt that Caroline wasn't teaching Kathryn anything to take care of her hair, he went to Mrs. Heyward and asked her anything he could know. He spent hours there, learning how to braid. He's good, Kathryn has to admit.
And the work he did to give her goddess locs is absolutely magnificent, especially in only eight hours. That and her red skin-tight dress, a slit going from her thigh to her ankles and the pretty golden shoes that match the jewellery in her hair, Kathryn quite literally could take on the world, she thinks.
The Midsummer Party is outdoorsy, in front of the Cameron's house. Kathryn can feel the anxiety settle, but the urge to go in spite of her mother is too strong for her to be distracted by anything else. There's tables, and several big archways decorated with tiny white flowers. It must have taken them hours to do this. There's even a stage for a local band. It's just too over the top.
"It's lacking a neon sign," Max lets out, ironically. "Or a flame thrower?"
"Some monster trucks too," Henry adds.
"You guys are killing me," Kathryn tells them. "Actually, please do that before the party starts."
Henry arches an eyebrow. "What happened to going to fuck with your mom?"
"Mess, with your mom," Max corrects.
Kathryn shrugs. "My corpse would mess with her, I think."
"Kat! Hey Kat!"
With a frown, she turns around to see Sarah half-running towards her. "Hi Sarah," Henry greets.
She nods, out of breath. "Hi Mister H. Nice suit." Then, she turns her brown eyes to Kathryn. "Please. I'm trying to avoid Topper, just at least pretend to talk to me."
Kathryn looks over her shoulder to see Topper looking at them with an angry face. She's not one to pass over a chance to fuck with the guy, especially after last night and what he pulled with Rafe and Kelce. And it's been a long time since she's talked with Sarah.
"Okay guys, I'll find you later, yeah?" Her uncles nod at her, Henry giving her a thumbs up. "Let's just go a bit further away."
Sarah nods, and follows her, making their way through the growing crowd. There's a table, hidden from Topper's piercing glare. They sit there and Sarah immediately heaves out a sigh.
