The storm only got worse as the morning wore on. Though it couldn't be much past noon, the sky was as dark as night in between cracks of lightning. The rain was starting to come down in earnest as the guests began to gather again in the party room. The old men: Vince, Dave, and the Chief; sat around the coffee table, pestering Julia for stories of her travels. Nathan and Duke paced at opposite ends of the room, Nathan playing with a set of plastic party masks. Eleanor bustled about, playing party host.
"Anybody seen Audrey?" she asked.
"Uh." Duke shrugged. "Just long enough to know she was looking for Mr. Carpenter." He glanced back over his shoulder at the hallway, only to startle back a little when Nathan happened to pass by holding a balloon and staring at him from behind a white plastic cat mask.
Nathan had always been extra weird when it came to parties.
