Nova
Here's to alcohol,
Nova isn't hiding, she's working. She just happens to be sequestered behind the colorful booth of the Sunbean, passing out drinks and snacks where very few people can see her. That includes a particular rancher she's spotted in the crowd.
It's not like she has any reason to minimize herself or feel ashamed for being at the party, but she doesn't really want to invite Colt to berate her on why the exuberant drinks or the frilly layers of her dress are 'childish.' She'd much rather push aside thoughts of 'growing up' with smiles and giggles, particularly when people try the explosion of peppermint bark hot chocolate or the sweetgrass lattes. They've been quite the hit so far, and she's kept busy babbling on about how amazing their shop is, adding an abundance of edible glitter on top of the whipped cream. They even have glow-in-the-dark cups with little star designs to really brighten things up.
However, when a lull finally comes between customers, she's pleased to find more friendly faces in the crowd, almost relieved. She leans out over the booth, waving excitedly at Jack and The Ark. If they're in conversation, she doesn't notice, plastering a vibrant smile on her face. "Hi! Do you guys want a drink? They're really good!"

the rose-colored glasses of life.
