Elaborate events had never really been your scene. You didn't know where to insert yourself - where and with whom? So naturally, you felt quite out of place when you found yourself in one of the most elaborate parties you had ever seen, hosted by no one else but Cecilia Gould. Her name was something that circled around you everywhere you went, an unknown woman who seemed to be the talking point of any conversation... And now you found yourself in her estate, surrounded by crowds of party-goers in fancy dress - yourself included. You had been dragged here by a group of friends; friends who had received the exclusive invite to such an event... and you were already getting overwhelmed.

You made your way out of the main hall, stumbling in your heels down a hallway in search for any kind of peace and quiet. Just as you turned a corner, you collided with another woman.

“Oh!” A smooth voice yelped, “Darling, what are you doing straying from the party?” She seemed to be ushering you back toward the way you came.
