On the night of the masquerade ball, Isabella was putting the finishing touches on her makeup. She had considered hiring a professional makeup artist and hairstylist for the event, but she always liked her makeup better when she did it herself.
Now, as she took a step back from the mirror, Isabella was glad that she had gotten herself ready. She had curled her dark hair into soft waves that flowed down her back. Her silver eyeshadow perfectly complemented her dark blue gown, and her full lips were painted a bright pink. She put on her silver high heels and glanced at the clock.
Her pulse quickened in excitement. It was about time for Elliot to arrive.
She couldn’t wait to show off her distinguished fiancé at the gala. To Isabella, this night felt like their official debut as a couple, and she wanted everything to go perfectly.
