In the very center stood a girl in a black mermaid gown, serenely holding her violin. Her notes rippled through the crowd, cleansing their hearts with an ethereal touch.

I stared at the beautiful, elegant figure on stage–it was Isabelle.

She’d traded her usual casual clothes for a graceful, refined gown. She looked like a goddess straight out of a painting–romantic and stunning.
