Lovely
Carolina had been studying for an exam when her phone rang. She was able to glance at the clock on her phone. It was 2 P.M. She had been studying since ten A.M. and needed to take a break. It had all started to run together. She got up from the sitting position in front of the unlit fireplace in the living room and went into the kitchen to get a glass of water. A soon as she filled up her cup, there was a knock on the door.
She walked over to the door and opened it.
Her breath was taken away. It was her mother.
She looked so much better than what she had seen her look like in the last year. Her hair had grown back thicker and darker. Her complexion was no longer pale and waxy, but golden and glowing. She looked healthy. Mrs. Hilden smiled at Carolina.

The goon moved, and she saw him. Mr. Monzoon was an old, portly man no more than 5’7, sitting behind a large mahogany desk, in a red velvet wingback chair. He reminded her of a mob boss. The room stunk of expensive cigar smoke. She saw him roll one in his mouth. “Come in. Gino, Move. The guest of honor has finally arrived.” “Mr. Monzoon.” He greeted him. Mr. Monzoon stood and shook Geo's extended hand. “And who is this doll face?” He asked as he looked Carolina up and down. “This is Carolina,” Geo explained. “A pleasure to meet you.” Mr. Monzoon directed his attention to her.

It was a party, after all. She trailed behind them as they crossed the large room.

They were left alone on the fringes of the dancefloor, watching others laugh, and dance. It was still a wonderful sight to see. The party she would probably never be able to forget. A waiter walked by. She grabbed some more champagne. Silk spoke. “Let’s take a walk.” She nodded her head in agreement as she took a nice sip of the cold, sweet champagne. Carolina had expected Silk to take her in the same direction she and Geo had gone earlier, but she went in the opposite direction. They walked through the large rooms and out on the lawn. The music was faint, background noise now. The air was crisp on her skin. She inhaled and took another sip of her champagne. “He is in love with you.” Silk announced. Carolina
