Charlotte was getting prettied up by her ladies. There was a royal Navy Blue satin dress ready to be worn by the lovely bride.
"Charm! That's charm. ", says Elena.
"She looks absolute heavenly",adds Ruby.
The girls were watching Miss Charlotte as she was getting ready with great curiosity.
But soon they get scolded for being in the bride's privacy.It was the night of the wedding. Charlotte was wed to the Duke of Cambridge. Everyone was in a state of joy and merry. Charlotte looked godly when she was dancing with her husband Antonio while holding hands.
"Paty!",called out Arlotto. "Can I have your hand for a dance?" Patricia agreed and they danced the night away.Ember looked resentful. She was glaring at the two while having a cup of wine. Filled with envy.
"Why don't you dance with us?", asks Ruby. Ignoring the question asked by Ruby, Ember gets up and heads to her room.Arlotto and Patricia were the most beautiful pair in the room. The dance quickly ended when Arlotto pulls Patricia to a corner and the pair shares their first kiss. Arlotto let's her know that she is the most beautiful girl he had ever met. And then the dives in for another kiss.
Next morning Patricia does not find Ember at her usual place in the garden. Curiously she looks for her,and then finds her in her room reading a book. Ember ignores her arrival. Patricia sits down beside her on her bed and asks,"what's wrong?" "what's right? U were dancing with Arlotto last night when you knew I was drawn towards him", yells Ember.
She then tells Patricia to leave her alone and go.
Patricia in dismay leaves the room with tears filled eyes.She bumps into Arlotto while running to her room. "Why are u crying?",asks Arlotto. "Oh no dont worry it's just a small fight between me and Ember",says Patricia "well alright then but just so you know I will be there if u need me",smiles Arlotto and the two hug.
Patricia feeling guilty of everything goes to her room. She felt like she had betrayed her friend Ember. She kept telling herself "how could u do this?" "why did u do this" making herself feel even more miserable. She was thinking about the night of the dance she had with Arlotto and their first kiss, and that's when she knew she was in love.
