NYE
If a thing done more than once could be said to be a tradition, then tradition was observed. The restaurant was set for a party, overflowing with whatever the cooks and bakers of the inn had chosen to create. The bar was stocked from the wine cellar. The bartenders had created a couple of special New Year's cocktails for the occasion in addition to the usual champagne: Blue "Drunk Jack Frosties", frothy pink "Mistletoe Margaritas" and warm boozy hot cocoa.
Caroline had tried to convince each of the guests she knew had musical talent to perform, at least a song or two, but had a playlist ready in case they didn't. For those without their own instruments, the karaoke machine was set up in the lobby, conveniently near the bar so one could find courage as needed first.
Between Christmas and today, the decorations had been changed out - the tree was still there of course, and the mistletoe. But now golds and silvers dominated the colors of the streamers. Sparkling snowflakes dangled and sprays of gold stars. A banner hung over Darryl's head, wishing any who glanced his way a Happy New Year! There was even a disco ball, dug out from some storage closest, turning slowly and sending little shards of light dancing over the pink rose carpet.
Even from the outside, the inn radiated good cheer and hope for the future, as if by sheer will, they could all make it so.

She offered a small smile to Maria and hugged her. When she pulled back, she was still smiling just a little. "Peter's different. He's just... something's bothering him." At least she was pretty sure. "I just wish he'd feel comfortable telling me. I thought we could tell each other everything."

"Liz," She said. "Listen to me. Whatever it is, it is not you fault and it's his problem if he can't see how he's hurting you. He's being a big baby right now and you shouldn't have to put up with it, okay? It's New Years Eve. You should be having fun."
Maria linked her arm with Liz's arm.
"So, I'm going to drag you over to the karaoke machine," She said with a determined smile. "And we're going to sing some Spice Girls and then when it's midnight, all the stupid men in this building can go to hell, okay? We've got each other."
Re: M and L
She smiled a little at Maria and nodded. "Thanks Maria."
