Drabble Challenge #30

Prompt: shadow

It’s a crowded room filled with food, conversations and lots of pretty things of distraction.

I survey the space looking for a bit of radiance, a dab of interesting.

My attention is pulled toward a shimmering spark.

I see her.

She’s stacking fruit and muffins atop a platter, balancing coffee, turning with her treasures, sauntering past with verve.

She disappears into the swarm – and I’ve lost her!

I search for the light in the room that’s so bright it’s casting all else into shadow.

There!

Up near the bar, sitting with a tedious fellow.

I make my way to delight.
