“…O...err... Yes, of course you can come in,” Tom said to Melody as she stood there freezing at his door. Tom was wearing his usual suit that he wore when he went out. He looked rather posh but no where near as much as Melody did. “Well…I’m virtually ready so we can set off now if you wish,” said Tom as they both walked into his hole.
“Yes, if you have nothing to do than we might as well go,” she replied. Tom walked over to his coat and took it from the peg and placed it around Melody’s shoulders.
“There. That should keep you warm for the walk down the road,” Tom said warmly to Melody. The party would usually be held outside but due to the cold weather, it took place in a large building just down the road from Tom’s house. Melody thanked Tom for the coat and they both began to walk to the party. They talked a little about the journey and how much danger they may be in on the way, but they were mainly silent.
“Ah. This is the place,” Tom said staring at the building as the approached it. They went in not knowing what to expect, but, to their surprise, there was quite a large amount of food and many hobbits had turned up to give them a fond farewell.
The party already looked well underway as hobbits were already drinking and laughing merrily along as music was being played. Like most hobbit parties were. Tom turned to Melody. “This looks like it may be a good night,” he said. Together, they walked into the main room where Ivy and the other hobbits already were and began to greet them all.
