Ten days before Magdalen’s wedding, she decided to throw a bash for Estelle and Jonathan’s circle at the 9th Mansion.

Anyone who was anybody in J City got an invite.

As the evening unfolded, Jonathan drove to pick up Estelle and they headed to the 9th Mansion. By the time they arrived, dusk had painted the sky in shades of twilight, and the place was alit with a brilliant display of lights.

The air was brisk, but not too cold, so Jonathan flung open his overcoat and wrapped Estelle in his arms as they made their way inside.

They entered the private room to find it buzzing with energy. Charlie, Josiah, Carson, Andrew, and others were clustered around Morrison, laughing and cajoling him to drink.

In the adjacent lounge, Magdalen was keeping Emily, Amiee, and a few others entertained while they fussed over Kya.

Even Henson and Norah had made an appearance. The room was a cacophony of chatter and laughter.

As Estelle and Jonathan walked in, the crowd swarmed them. Carson chuckled, “You two sure took your sweet time. So what’s the verdict? How shall we penalize the latecomers?”
