Your families were meeting at the Bal's estate in the outskirts of Paris. You sat in the backseat of the car and listened to music through your headphones the whole ride. The ride wasn't terribly long so it wasn't long before the car was pulling onto the familiar property you've been going to for years.

Your dad parked the car before everyone got out of the car. You left your purse in the car, just bringing your phone inside with me as you followed your parents to where Tao's dad sat outside, smoking a cigarette. You greeted him politely as you stood back as your parents talk and you heard his dad talking about how his daughters couldn't make it so it'd just be Tao here.
