A sense of lightness bubbled inside her. The first guests had arrived. They were all chatting, laughing. She could hear the music playing. She checked on the food.

The decorations were exquisite. The entire venue felt like a dream. She knew Mark's party was a disaster. She could hear the disappointment in his voice when he had called her earlier. She had outdone him.

She clapped her hands with joy. She knew this was the best party ever. The cake was perfect. Everything was perfect.
