Chapter 5Saturday, Clara decided to invite her closest friends to the Romance Festival. Merely to check it out, mind you. She didn't drink the enchanted tea or fantasize about weddings. But she did buy a t-shirt and a snow globe for her collection. She brought Lady along, of course. It was also an opportunity to practice making drinks at Planet Honey Pop.
Upon arrival, the Romance Guru was immensely popular. Clara passed up a personal love reading. No need to get a stranger to confirm that she is single for whatever reasons. Clara very much appreciates her life with Lady as it is.
Somehing was off with Brent that day however. Fair Lady seemed to receive all his attention.
On closer inspection, I think it has to do with the person standing next to him...
Clara and Caleb (those two names look good together!) completely agreed that pizza just can't be called food. Lady is working hard on getting Catarina to become a dog person too.
Back to the problem with Brent. To sum up, he has been calling Clara practically every single night, since they became friends, to ask if she wants to hang out - just the two of them. This is unsettling since he is married and happily so according to all known sources. He sometimes calls as late as 3 am. I worry.
Even Caleb seems to have noticed that Brent is always somewhere close to Clara, observing. And he seems concerned as well.
Meanwhile, Brent's husband, Brant, is having a heart-to-heart talk with Justin in the men's room. What's going on exactly?
Fortunately, Caleb knows how to lighten the atmosphere with some goofy karaoke! What an amiable soul he is.
But just as Caleb went to play with Lady, a certain someone stepped in to supervise. Brent, you're ruining the fun...
Brent: I can play with Lady too. You really aren't that special, Caleb.
Caleb: Right. Looks like someone is playing the violin out there. I'm going to have a look. *ignoring Brent*
The whole thing sadly got to Clara. Her solution? Go and taste the local Pufferfish Ngiri. It was excellent. Very.
Black underwear is still hot! Don't you forget that,

Later on, Brent sought counselling...or maybe he was just asking what his husband and Justin had talked about.
Clara's turn to try and raise the spirits! Her sophisticated sweetness continues to put a smile on my face.
Pet Lovers Inc. and friends took over the planet that night when the festival was over. The bartender went outside to watch fireworks and go to the bathroom. Clara saw an opportunity and snuck in behind the bar and made rounds for everyone. The most expensive, of course!
Yeah.
When Clara and Lady came home, Lady was so exhausted from social overload that she simply dragged herself behind mom and fell asleep instantly on the bathroom floor. Cute!

Lastly, some pictures of Clara's kitchen which I'm rather happy about. She's a foodie, so naturally she's got some Cool Kitchen Stuff.
