"Two parties," Maria whispered to herself. The news had come like a blow, but a pleasant one. Sophia, a sophisticated gallery opening. And then, a chaotic, loud karaoke night hosted by Jessica. All on the same day.

Her pulse quickened, and she bounced on the balls of her feet. This was impossible. This was perfect. She had always loved the contrast between the two friends, but never had she imagined them competing for her attention on the same evening.

Maria started humming a song, a silly, upbeat tune. She imagined the possibilities: the gallery, the karaoke, the friends, the outfits… She simply couldn't choose!
