She heard I was in Charleston for the weekend and invited me to a “little get-together” at her family’s estate in the Old Village.

I arrive (along with 200 other guests) at the most pristine white colonial I’ve ever seen, Susannah fluttering about the manicured lawn in a swingy belted dress that would’ve put Scarlett’s velvet curtains to shame.

Is it a coincidence that six of South Carolina’s most eligible bachelors amble hopefully behind Susannah and her dress as she playfully hands out red velvet cupcakes?

Flirtatious and chaste aren’t always polar opposites.
