Hazel quickly grew tired of having to answer the same questions about love and men from the women around her. It made her think she should have just prepared a speech in advance for the women looking to marry and another for those already married.
Now that she had addressed most of them, Hazel wanted to see Tobias so she could spend some time with him at the ball to celebrate his birthday.
Hazel exited the room early after Eleanor returned to search for her husband so she could ask him for a dance. Would it be so wrong of her to have a drink as well?
'No,' Hazel shook her head, against the idea.
She had started to take what Eleanor sent to the palace to help her heal from what Julia did and she had already made the promise not to drink for a while.
The timing was terrible as all Hazel saw when she walked around were guests with glasses in their hands. At least the women around her were not drinking.
