🌸 Annaliese
Margot… I did it. I CRASHED THEIR ENGAGEMENT PARTY 😌💃
🕶 Margot
WHAT?!! HOW? WHY?
WHERE IS SECURITY?
🌸 Annaliese
At the back eating mini quiches. They didn’t see me because I walked in like a shadow dipped in Chanel No. 5 🖤👠
🌸 Annaliese
The music slowed down when I entered. Like the pianist could feel my heartbreak through the air 😭🎹 I swear even the chandelier blinked at me.
🕶 Margot
That’s not possible. That’s an electrical hazard.
🌸 Annaliese
And then, there he was
LUKAS. In a suit so black it looked like it was stitched with sorrow itself 🕴️🖤 And beside him… HER 😒
🌸 Annaliese
Clarisse. Looking like she bathes in diamonds and tax evasion 💅💸
🕶 Margot
Oh god. What did you do?
🌸 Annaliese
I stared at him. He looked at me. And for one second, the room faded away 🌌 I think he felt something. Or maybe he just saw the cake I was about to destroy…
🕶 Margot
NO—what?
🌸 Annaliese
I tripped over a waiter. Landed in the cake. It exploded. Everyone screamed. I stood up like a phoenix reborn in frosting 🔥🎂
🕶 Margot
YOU FELL. INTO. THEIR ENGAGEMENT CAKE??
🌸 Annaliese
YES. I was dripping with raspberry and regret. But my mascara DID NOT BUDGE 😌
And then… Lukas walked toward me. In. Slow. Motion. Hair perfect. Eyes confused. Soul shaken 😩
🕶 Margot
WHAT DID HE SAY?
🌸 Annaliese
He said: “You again?”. With the softest voice, like disappointment wrapped in velvet 🥺
🕶 Margot
Annaliese, I am BEGGING YOU to be normal for five minutes!
🌸 Annaliese
Normal is for people who don’t fall in love through frosting and public humiliation 😤 Anyway, I left through the garden. It was raining. Perfect.
