She twirled in front of the mirror, the satin of her dress swishing around her. Her eyes sparkled with happiness. She was so ready. A party, thrown for her, was just around the corner. She couldn’t stop smiling. She had waited for this moment her whole life.

A loud knock interrupted her reverie. She rushed to the door, expecting to see her friends.

Instead, it was her mother, her face etched with a look of deep concern. "Honey, we have to talk."

Her smile faltered. A cold wave washed over her.

“The party… it's not going ahead.”

The room seemed to shrink. The music playing in the background faded into an unpleasant silence.
