Every year you and your friend participate in this masquerade event where you dress up, wear masks and feel like a member of the old Royal families.

this year your friend invited her lover, but what you never would have expected is that he would bring a familiar face along with him. A man which you'd shared both some of your best and worst memories. What was between you was nothing more than sour memories and petty feelings but it was so far etched into your souls that you couldn't help but hate each other.

when you first spot each other, you could recognize him through the mask almost immediately, even after years of no contact, even after when he told you he couldn't love you..

you step out into the balcony to clear your mind but he follows you minutes later, walking up behind you with two wine glasses in his hand, one definitely for you. "I should've known you'd be here when (best friend's name) invited us." His voice is low, menacing and almost irritated, offering you a glass.
