On the day of her party, Delaney couldn't sleep in very late. She was too excited and anxious for the night to come.
She ran around making all the last-minute decisions and ensuring things were ready. The sky was clear thankfully and she felt it was going to be a perfect day.
Just like when they were younger, when it came time to dress for the party, Constance, Selina, and Cora arrived with their things so they could all get ready together. Olive was the only one not in attendance but they forgave her since she was both married and expecting a baby.
Constance and Selina seemed to set aside their disagreements for the night, reverting to their usual habits as friends that they had had since they were young. Cora was home from school early for the occasion and it was as if they'd all somehow managed to go back in time to before the war had happened.
