Champagne by Lesley Whyte

The poolside is carnage. The aftermath of the party - French-cut knickers dangling from empty
champagne bottles, diamond earrings in puddles of spilt wine and vodka. Cellphones with half a dozen missed calls. Driver's licenses, another half dozen of those. He has to check ages now. The last lawsuit hit him hard.

But there's nobody floating face-down in the pool this morning. All the pretty young groupies are safely ensconced in the master suite.

Sometimes you have to celebrate the little victories.
