I know this isn't much to go on, but if you could just give me your impression of things unsaid, that would be great.
In return, I would of course be happy to review one of your pieces. If you have a preference or want a piece reviewed in a particular light, just tell me.
Thank you!

Fitting In
The wide wooden doors opened without a sound. Light poured through, showering her with music and color. The ballroom was decorated in shades of gold and blue with sparkling drapes that covered the full-length windows and gaily dressed nobles twirling across the marble dance floor. The doorman offered her a bow that she ignored, and she walked down the steps in a no-nonsense manner. The skirt fought against her longs strides, wrapping around her legs. She paused to take a glass from one of the traveling waiters. The red wine was delicious, she admitted, and drained the glass in one gulp.
She almost dropped the glass without a thought, but caught herself. She had promised him her best behavior. Finding another waiter, she placed her empty glass on his tray. Her feet had only carried her a few more steps before a cup of that same delicious wine was thrown in her face.
Gasps followed. She wiped at her eyes with a hand, clearing her vision. An angry noblewoman stared back in challenge. She could feel a smirk curling her lips. One of the waitresses approached her with a napkin, and she took it from her along with a second glass of wine. The makeup that had been laid on so painstakingly smeared under the white cloth. Draining the beverage, she dropped the crystalline glass, taking keen pleasure in the sound of its shattering.
She retraced her stops, and the wooden doors thudded closed behind her.

“Back so soon?” he asked in despair. Red stains stood out against her lavender gown. “Someone threw wine at you?”
“Obviously,” she answered, not pausing to elaborate.
He groped for something more to say before she disappeared. “Did you at least enjoy yourself…?”
She paused. “The wine was good.”
Then the door to her room closed behind her.
