364: BEAUTY IN EVERY DETAIL

ARIEL’S POV

I approached the grand entrance of the mansion with Tessa, and my steps slowed in awe of the towering structure before us. The mansion stood proudly against the night sky, its windows aglow with warm light spilling out onto the intricate stone steps leading up to the entrance. The sound of laughter and music floated through the air, creating an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation.

My heart raced with a mix of nerves and excitement as I adjusted my dress, feeling the soft fabric rustling against my skin. I glanced at Tessa and offered a reassuring smile before we both took a deep breath and stepped inside.

A whirlwind of sights and sounds enveloped me the moment we crossed the threshold. The foyer was a symphony of elegance, with a grand staircase spiraling upwards and its banisters adorned with delicate flowers. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a warm glow over the marble floors where guests mingled, their laughter filling the air.

Tessa squeezed my hand, her eyes wide with wonder, as we made our way further into the mansion. We passed through rooms adorned with opulent tapestries and exquisite artwork, with the walls lined with mirrors that reflected the flickering candlelight.

I couldn’t help but feel a pang of self–consciousness as I glanced at the other guests; their designer gowns and tailored suits were so superb compared to mine. But Tessa’s reassuring presence by my side gave me the courage to hold my head high and walk with confidence.

Yes, who cared anyway?

We entered the grand ballroom, where a sea of guests swayed to the music that filled the air. The room was a vision of splendor, with crystal chandeliers casting shimmering patterns on the walls and a band playing lively tunes in the corner.

Tessa and I made our way through the crowd, exchanging greetings with familiar faces and offering smiles to strangers. The atmosphere was electric, charged with the promise of a night filled with excitement and possibility.

As we reached the far end of the ballroom, I took in the sight before me. Moonlight bathed a lush garden, its blooms illuminated by soft lanterns swaying in the gentle breeze from a grand balcony. The scent of fresh flowers and the sound of cascading water from a nearby fountain filled the air, creating a sense of
