I heard Jenna's voice in my apartment and paused the show I was watching to listen to her talk.

She was talking to Ella, something about psychology, and then she opened my door.

I smiled at her and then noticed what she had in her hands: my mail.

"You're the sweetest," I said as Jenna closed the door behind her.

She sat on my bed and handed the mail to me. I flipped through a few things, mostly bills and stuff I needed to forward to my parents, until I saw it- the invitation.

The envelope was thick and white, decorated with iridescent green vines and my full name scrawled across it in delicate calligraphy.

I grabbed my letter opener from my bedside table and carefully sliced the wax seal open.

Inside was one singular white card that read:

Ms. Kira Nicole Abgard, you are cordially invited to attend the 64th annual Governor's Ball in Reno, Nevada hosted by Governor Paul Ghibli. The gala will take place at the Ghibli Estate on Saturday, April the 16th, 2016. Festivities will begin promptly at 7:00 pm. Attire must be formal and appropriate. Please tick the indicated box if you are bringing a guest and leave the box blank if you are not. We hope to see you there. Sincerely, Governor and Misses Paul Ghibli.

"Is that your invitation to the ball?" Jenna asked.

I nodded at her and sighed.

"I guess I have to ask him," I said dejectedly.

"Even after everything that happened in Havasu? Did you guys even talk about it?" She asked me.

I shook my head.

"No," I replied, "he apologized the next morning but I said it was fine and then that was it. We haven't really talked much at all."

Jenna nodded and looked at the invitation.

"You should probably talk to him. After all, the thing is in a month," she reminded me.

I groaned and tossed the invitation on my bedside table.

"I know, I know. He just makes me nervous," I said.

Jenna giggled and squeezed my leg.

"That's so cute! Are you still mad at me?" She asked, curving her mouth downward to look like a sad puppy.

I rolled my eyes.

"You really want to tell me about Brody, don't you?" I asked.

She nodded intensely.

"Okay, fine," I relented.

"His dick was huge, okay? Like, so big I didn't even know what to do with it. I tried to suck it, but I choked too many times and he thought he was hurting me so we just fucked and it hurt for a minute but then it was the most amazing sex I've ever had," she blurted.
