The house felt peaceful, with only the clock's soft ticking and the gentle sound of their steps filling the quiet space. Ashton immediately headed to his room, his small figure disappearing up the stairs without a word.
Delphinia watched him go, her lips curving into a faint smile. She wanted to believe today had been a small step forward. With a soft sigh, she headed to her own room.
Delphinia placed her bag on the chair and sank onto the edge of the bed, letting herself relax for a moment. But her thoughts were restless, and after a while, she decided to head downstairs again.
As she moved down the steps, her eyes fell on Sienna, who held an elegant black envelope with gold trim. "What's that?" Delphinia asked curiously.
Sienna stopped in her track, her eyes darting to the envelope before she looked up and smiled. "An invitation," she replied, holding it up slightly for Delphinia to see.
