Six Sentence Sunday

Here’s another six sentences from Skin Deep:

The evening of Michelle’s annual Halloween costume party blew in with a light breeze and a full moon. John felt a stab of disappointment; a small part of him had been hoping for rain, high winds, mud slides—anything that would cancel the party. Every year, Michelle hosted it for the cast and crew. It had become legendary. He’d listened for weeks to everyone anticipating it as they discussed their costumes, and he knew from previous experience that the party would be the subject of conversations for days afterward. Although she’d held the party for three years—as long as the show had been in production—John had never attended, but in a moment of weakness, for Valerie’s first party, John had agreed.
