"Alright! We shouldn't keep the boys waiting any longer," Lara said with a playful smile. Olive nodded, and they both made their way to the door, ready for the party to begin.

As Olive and Lara stepped back into the grand hall, the room fell into silence. All eyes fell on Olive.
Lucas's gaze locked onto her, his expression softening. He opened his mouth, trying to speak, but nothing came out. It was as though his tongue had tied itself into knots, leaving him mute.
Mark, standing beside him soon broke the silence with a loud whistle "Wow, Olive! You look breathtaking," he exclaimed, unable to contain his amazement.
Olive chuckled softly, her eyes crinkling with warmth. "Thanks, Mark," she replied.
Mark then walked over to the girls and, without hesitation, took Lara's hand. "Come on, let's hit the dance floor babe," he murmured, with a wink making Lara blush before leading her away.
