Everyone exchanged glances, wondering if this was the surprise Giselle had prepared.

If so, it was certainly shocking-though hardly pleasant.

It quickly became clear from Giselle's mortified expression and the tears welling in her eyes that this wasn't a planned surprise -it was an accident.

Giselle had thrown exactly 25 birthday parties. This was the first time anything like this had happened.

Her parents recovered quickly. Facing their bewildered guests with awkward smiles, they explained that Giselle was simply playing a prank.

Nobody bought it.

Giselle had always cultivated the image of a refined,

accomplished young woman. Why would she suddenly abandon all decorum and humiliate herself in front of everyone?

But since the hosts were brushing it off, the guests couldn't press the issue.
