A Midnight Prismatic Gala
Stepping back inside as dusk settled, I promenaded straight into the dining room to prepare an evening soiree. Atop the polished wooden credenza stood a tall crystal table lamp casting warm, faceted beams across the surface. What an irresistible luminary canvas! Tucking my palette beneath one arm, I nudged a stray glass marble along the mahogany with the wooden handle of my paintbrush. With a splendid clink, the marble rolled directly into a bright wedge of golden light, instantly scattering a vivid fan of dancing rainbow specks across the lacquer. A truly dazzling nocturnal premiere!
