TVR/Ken2/Party

Together with her Uncle Brian, you are organising Daisy Johnson's third birthday party and you are looking forward to it very much. "Who's going to do the deed," Brian asks.

"I thought Andrew would be best," you say with a grin.

Brian nods. "He'll be up for it for sure."

You grab one end of a couch, Brian gets the other and you move it into position. You are in a barn belonging to Cedric Johnson, the father of the birthday girl. The women have swept and dusted and you are setting the stage for the star turn. There is a raised dais in the middle of one wall, trestle tables for food on another, and a bar set up on a third, with two barrels already settling in their stillages. Chairs and couches are arranged in a rough semi-circle in front of the stage.

Brian fills two glasses from one of the barrels and you both sit down. "I am surprised that Cedric didn't fuck her before this," you say.

Brian shrugs.
