know, that guy who sent that invitation.”
"Oh! That Frank. So, how was that?"
"It was good, actually. He was nice and apparently, he also lived in Paris for a while. And, well, he asked me to make pastries for the party."
"Wow! That's great, honey!"
She grinned. "I know!" She said. “Well, at least I kind of feel like I can now start over again.”
“Don’t worry too much.” Troy said. “It’s going to be fine.”
“I do hope so.” Emmy said. “Oh, I really hope so.”

I really wish you were here. I feel pretty crazy right now. I mean, I haven’t been to any parties in a while and I’m making the desserts for this one so you know…Gaaaaah! I seriously have no idea what to feel. I’m kind of freaking out.

Now that’s the Audrina I know! Lol
Yeah, well, he looks great. He seems cocky at first but he’s actually nice. He even lived in Paris for a while so that’s something we have in common. It’s nice to make friends again.

Just relax. You got this.
Emmy made her way to the party. She entered the back door of Frank’s house so she could make her way to the kitchen and line up the pastries that will be served. Luckily, Frank had a couple of maids who willingly helped her.
Finally, everything was set up on the dining table. There were French Mango Macarons, Pistachio Peanut Butter Cups, Apple Pecan Pies, Strawberry Macarons, Layered Lava Cake, and even Spicy Chocolate cake. Emmy was happy seeing them like that and so she decided to change clothes at one of the many bathrooms in Frank’s house. He toured her earlier in the day.

Emmy couldn’t help but smile. “You look great yourself!” She said. “I mean, look at you. And look at this place!” She stood at the foot of the stairs and realized that she hasn’t exactly allowed herself to be in awe of how lovely the place was. She felt like she was in her own castle and that she was a princess. She loved how the stairs were carpeted, how there were big shining balls above, how the chandeliers were all grand and festive and how beautiful everything was. In fact, she did not feel like she was in Sky Valley.
“Thank you.” Frank said. “And your pastries are amazing!” He said. “I won’t deny that I tasted some before everybody else.” He laughed.
Emmy found herself laughing as well. “And did
