Capítulo 50: Stay With Me

Adeline quietly walked through the crowd. Everywhere she turned, people were eying her and whispering. When she made eye contact, they'd brightly smile, but none would bow. She ignored them.

Without another word, Adeline began to look around for Lydia. She had spotted her talking to a group of women before. It wasn't a surprise, considering how likable Lydia was. She was the center of the party.

Suddenly, something flashed in the corner of her eyes.

Adeline turned around, wondering what it was. She was momentarily blinded when the light was directly in her eyes. After blinking a bit, she regained her vision.

Adeline noticed something shining in the corner of the ballroom, right near the pillars. Quietly, she glanced around, wondering if anyone else saw it.

"How peculiar…" Adeline mumbled.
