As the limousine pulled up in front of the event hall, Lucy couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in her stomach.
She glanced out of the window, taking in the lavishly decorated exterior, with golden lights twinkling like stars against the evening sky. The marquee above the entrance announced in bold letters, [Welcome to the 7th High School Reunion] and beneath it, a smaller sign read, [Lucy's Prom].
The chauffeur opened the car door, and Tom stepped out first, extending a hand to help Lucy. She accepted, stepping gracefully out of the vehicle.
As soon as she emerged, a chorus of excited shrieks greeted her ears. She turned to see Sonia and a group of their former classmates rushing toward her, their faces lit up with joy.
"Lucy!" One of them squealed, throwing her arms around her. The others followed suit, enveloping Lucy in a whirlwind of hugs and laughter. It was as if no time had passed since their graduation seven years ago.
