The party guest list includes a wide range of interestingnesses of rich people. There's a fellow who sits on various boards of various faceless corporations; there's two who started startups and swept up a few million dollars that way; there's a small handful of professional philanthropists, who have oodles of money from various sources and make a hobby of distributing the interest to worthy pet causes; there is a congresswoman, and a state senator, both from New York but apparently willing to travel to the West Coast on occasion. There's also a lot of dull old money who do this sort of thing and nothing but all the time, but they still concentrate a lot of financial leverage, and Bella would rather have ins with them than not, as long as she can.
She bikes up - speeding shamefully, hexing herself radar detection, and cutting the trip in half from its estimated time to just eight hours on the road. Tegu can go very very fast.
Alice made her a new dress for the occasion - this one's autumny, mostly a dark red-brown, with leaf patterns in deep gold and burnt orange swirling up around and soft ruffles in the same colors around her knees and puffing out over one shoulder. It stands out more than the little black dress - which is fine. She would like attention, and just being the hostess's son's girlfriend will not quite get her there at a rich people party, she thinks.

[Mmm... don't think so. It'd niggle at me if it were someone else. Either conjure it a cake box that makes it look like you bought it or we can eat in the lair.]

[Okay, cake box.]
Because he can definitely come up with a cake that looks professional by itself.

That handled, Bella shifts position slightly to take pressure off her elbow. Snuggle snuggle.

Snuggle snuggle!
Alice happily sets about designing birthday cakes in his head. If he's going to pretend-buy her a cake, it is going to be the most awesome fucking cake she has ever seen.

[Everyone's going to want to know where it came from. I think this again calls for "it was custom from a really exclusive place",] Bella sighs. [Put a logo but not a name on the box so it's hard to Google.]

[I could just make it a plain box,] he suggests. [With your name written on it in Sharpie, so it looks like it was one of a bunch and they needed to label them.]
