She started walking through the crowd to find Merinda or one of the boys. Once she proved she was at the ball, she was free to go. A loud trumpet interrupted her plan.

A Fleeting Moment Chapter 8: A Fleeting Moment (continued) As the clock struck midnight, Ella was overcome by a wave of apprehension. She remembered the fairytale she had once heard, where a magical moment came to an abrupt end. Fearful of losing the connection she had found with Alexander, she gently broke away from the dance and hastily retreated from the ballroom.

Nathan saved her, and it became a classic tale of the prince saving the ordinary girl, just like in many romantic stories. People loved to read these kinds of stories.

It's quite great to have my apartment back. “You are like freaking lady bug.” Her dimpled smile is wide. “Or even better, Cinderella.” She covers her mouth with another laugh. I can’t help but chuckle at my pathetic situation. “I had the same thoughts. We sure think alike sometimes.” I sip in my bottle of Foco-fola.
