The party was in full swing by the time Dusk and her friends arrived, Tom's parents car driving away as  theirs pulled in.<br/>As they walked in, she was impressed by the size of the beach house, his parents had been lucky and aquired it at a good price, it had needed a lot of work to get it back to it's 1960's glory, but they had managed very well.<br/>The downstairs, on level with the street at the back, but some thirty feet off the beech at the front, was almost just one large room, kitchen, dining room and living room all rolled into one. The whole front a mass of glass leading onto a balcony almost as big as the house, over looking the beech and the sea. The rest of this upside down house (apart from Tom's loft room), was downstairs.<br/>Five bedrooms, all a good size, all with french windows onto the beech, a boathouse and a den.<br/><br/>There seemed to be hundreds of kids there, the place a noisy hive of acticity, dancing, chatting, shouting to each other.......Tom was in there somewhere, just being Tom...<br/>
