After the formal rites ended, the group made their way to Silvermoon Estate for a feast.

The dining room glowed with warm lights, and the long table was covered in gorgeous food. Bouquets of lilies of the valley lined the center; their scent danced

Ysabel rolled in with a five-layer cake, singing as she went.

"Birthday girl coming through!"

Everyone chimed in, gathering around Tessa and singing with loud, off-key joy.

She clapped along, heart full, eyes glowing with happiness.

Tessa looked around at all the people she loved-her friends, her family, her mate- and closed her eyes.

Please let the people I care about stay healthy. Let them stay happy. Let life be kind to them.
