~ Austin, the White Mansion ~
6:32 PM
The main lobby is packed with guests who are standing there from before 6 PM with a hope to get the first glance of the new Master and Madam. Looking at the time, they are late. All these people are rich and powerful, and they do not like to wait, but no one dares to voice their grievances. Whoever thought of leaving back to their seat was contemplating the possibility that if they leave 'right now' and then the two most important people for the night appear, they waited all this time for nothing. So, they waited some more.
All chatter stopped when Jeff and JoAnna appeared on the top of the stairs. Only music from the ballroom mixed with the crisp sound of JoAnna's high-heeled shoes as they stepped down the stairs to the main level where the party is.
