Hyperion Heights, Present Day
Alena had just put the finishing touches on her makeup for the ball. She was wearing a smoky eye with a dark red lipstick.
Her eyes then wandered down to the necklace around her neck. As she ran her fingers over the "A," along with the diamonds and sapphires, she couldn't help but feel feelings of nostalgia coupled with amusement, happiness, and heartache.
"One day soon. You won't be separated from him forever," Alena assured herself.
It wasn't as though she didn't think about Jack as it was - it was hard not to when she constantly saw him in Emma and Lily. But it seemed that this masquerade ball had him and their first little adventure on her mind.
She then shook her head. Tonight was her chance to just truly enjoy herself without any of the worries that always seemed to plague her.
She then let out a breath and let herself smile. She really was looking forward to a great night out.
Alena stood up from her vanity and turned toward her full-length mirror. She smoothed down the front of her dress before looking up at her reflection.
She felt even more beautiful than she did when she tried on the dress in the store. Along with the makeup, her look was complemented by an elegant curled updo courtesy of the hair dresser that Natalie had suggested. Two loose blonde curls framed the sides of Alena's face.
She then grabbed her silver clutch bag off the bed and placed her wallet and invitation inside. She made one last call to check on the twins before placing the phone in her bag.
She grabbed her mask and keys from the table before she headed out of her apartment and down to her car.
About 15 minutes later, Alena pulled up to the Hyperion Heights Multipurpose Building. It was two stories covered in gray brick, and two white columns stood at the arched entry. The many windows were arched as well.
When she had gotten out of the bug and placed her keys in the clutch, she heard a familiar voice behind her. She turned around to see her brother walking toward her.
"Hey, Henry," the blonde greeted with a smile. "Hey, Alena," he responded with a smile of his own.
He then told her, "I see you got an invitation to this masquerade ball."
Alena nodded before she elaborated, "Thanks to Natalie. She owns the daycare where I take Emma and Lily."
She then teasingly added, "And you got an invitation for Jacinda," with a grin.
"I think you're taking the annoying little sister thing a little too seriously," Henry matter-of-factly replied, but he couldn't help the smile that appeared a moment later.
Alena smiled back as she told him, "Well, it is kind of fun," with a shrug. Henry shook his head at her in response.
She couldn't help but chuckle at that before she happened to glance around, where she then saw two familiar faces.
