On the 5th of October, Elsie's birthday party was held in the garden of the Britt's.
It was pleasant in the evening of early fall. The lawn was decorated with exquisite underground lights. From the second floor, they were like fireflies flitting to and fro, shining like tiny stars.
Emily took a few pictures of the lawn with her phone.
She was often mocked at parties in the past. Elsie had never stood out for her. Only when she began to cry would Elsie hypocritically came to comfort her.
Emily found the past amusing.
By then, she was very grateful to Elsie for coming to her rescue. Even when Elsie coaxed her into a cupboard and got her locked for three whole hours, she would find excuses for Elsie, believing that Elsie was just too busy to remember.
The butler hadn’t found Emily until the party was over.
