'Who are you?'
Who could say that love just not gives you affection, but also trauma?
Colette immediately runs down the stairs and sees her family chattering, the rest of the women emerged in waves of peals of laughter, complements each other for the moment arrives all eyes are on Colette they are all mesmerized by her spectacular presence as she combined herself with the rest of the family she was given a warmth and loving hug by her mother who was smiling genuinely to her daughter and on her right is Colette's Father slightly smiles to her.
"My dearest daughter. Oh, how majestic you are." Her Father said
"Thank you, Father. " Soft voice that has escaped from her mouth leading with a smile on her face.
After some time as they arrived at the party Colette gazed around the mansion from the entrance, she stood at the door several minutes before hesitantly opening It as she opened the door she slipped into one of the servants winding her way toward the main wing of the house. Gradually the sound of the string quartet began to reach her ears accompanied by the buzz of conversations she stopped and listened to music she smiled brightly, she paused and leaned against her sister and shutting her eyes and breathing to the tempo of the strings she loved how it felt to hear music. After some seconds, her sister grabs her hand and drags her as she slipped with some of the guests and stops at the center of the room. Her sisters look at each other and utterly sway to the fast music.
Colette was forced to dance but she didn't mind and collided with her sisters to dance with them. She was happy as she expected how the party would go in a joyful manner with never ending love in her heart. She remembered herself and continued her way out of the crowds to rest her exhausted body, she wandered around the house her hands scraping the walls as she encountered a slight chattering in a distant, she steadily walked through the hallway and peeked to see if it was something, she was about to take another step when she heard a footsteps Colette looked sharply back and saw a man wearing a golden mask there few inches distant between the both, she instantly depart herself to the man to get a proper distance to this stranger and she dart around the man up and down the man was leaning its arm on the wall Colette immediately welcomed the man.
"Hello sweetheart." A flat tone the man said, Colette returned it with a smile.
The man scoffed and returned his eyes on Colette, before she could take further note of the interaction she looked at the man's face and noticed his narrowed black eyes gazing on her.
"What brings you here? Why aren't you in the ballroom?" The man said.
"I was taking some breaths and wandering around with this spectacular house I love how the scenery and how the house was made-"
She stopped talking when the man stood straight, he raised his hands and carefully removed the mask revealing his face. Colette watched the man for seconds looking at his facial features as she looked at him. One thought Colette thinks that the man is exceptionally familiar; she might have already seen him before or was it? The man stroked his hair to the back and broke a smile. He noticed that the woman was looking at him and he slightly chuckled.
"Have you never seen such a handsome man before?"
He said with a smile on his face, as he looked back at the woman he saw her still glaring at him as if she saw a ghost.
The man sighs, he glances at the woman again.
"I guess you have never done it. " A low voice he stated, silence parted between the both of them up until Colette came back to reality.
