Around midnight the guests filed out for the night. 

Denise:  “Everyone had a great time, why so tense?” 

Clive:  “You know me, I’m not a party guy.  I’m glad you had fun.” 

Denise:  “Thank you for everything.  The party… The house…  I mean that.”

Clive:  “You know you don’t have to thank me.” 

Denise:  “Well, maybe I can show my gratitude in other ways…?”

Cecilia:  “Like what?”
