Ella and y/n were friends since Ella moved with her parents to the house next to y/n's. Y/n's parents weren't very present in her life, they were always in high society parties or busy with some kind of work, so she passed all days in Ella's house...
Imelda, the maid that is more my mother than my real mother, helps me getting ready for the party, she does my makeup, my hair and helps me getting in my dress. As she finishes doing the laces on the back of my dress she turns me around so I can face her "All done" she says giving me a tender smile "Thank you, Imelda", "It was my pleasure, miss", "Imelda, you know me better than my mother does, you know you can call me y/n" she answers with a smile and a nod and then walks out of my room.
I walk to the mirror next to my wardrobe and take a look at myself, the brownish dress with golden details fitting my body perfectly in every curve of it and the pendant Ella's mother gave me before she passed completing it perfectly. I smile satisfied with what I see.

Walking down the stairs I look to the pendulum clock that stands near the living room door, it reads 08.55 pm, perfect timing, I walk out the door and do my way to Ella's house.
Getting closer to the front door I can hear the muffled sounds of people talking and laughing. I reached for the beautiful door knock in front of me and knocked three times, like I always do. A few minutes later the door opens and Ella's father appears from behind it "Y/n?", "Good evening, Ben" he smiles and shake his head lightly "I presume it was Ella that invited you?", "Indeed it was" I smile back "Come in!" I walk in and Ben closes the door behind us "I haven't seen you in these last months", "Well, you know how my parents are..." I say looking down "Oh, I'm sorry, y/n", "It's alright" he embraces me in a hug which I accept gladly "I missed having you around, y/n/n" I smile closing my eyes "I missed being around" he pulls away and looks at me, his eyes lingering on the pendant, a genuine smile forming on his lips "I'm glad you still use that" I look down and smile "I never take it off" a minute of silence passes and then he speaks again "Right, let me guide you to the room where everyone else is" I nod and follow him
Two men open the double doors for us and we walk in, a big poker table is right in front of us settled in the middle of the room with men and women all around it playing, drinking, talking and laughing. My eyes roam the entire room until they land on a breathtaking redhead in a beautiful tailored dress with embroidered sparkling flowers in it, her hair in a perfect low bun
