Casey didn't like parties. He didn't like crowds either. But he did like Vera and since she seemed to enjoy those things, he had to suck it up.
He was well rewarded for his efforts though in a gesture that shocked him to his core. She kissed him! It was only on the cheek but still! Where had that come from?!
He stood there like an idiot in front of her door trying to gather his thoughts and the willpower necessary to move for way too long because he had experienced a total system crash. She kissed him, she kissed him, she kissed him.
When he finally managed to make it to his apartment Kane looked at him like he was insane. "Why on earth are you dressed as a traffic cone?!"
"I went to a Halloween party."
"Why? You don't even celebrate Halloween."
"I thought I would shake things up," Casey deadpanned.
