"Ave sweetheart you won't get over that trauma if you don't face it up front, there is no use of running away from it, it'll just haunt you more. Confront your fears and smack them to the ground!" 

"Avery!!! It's here!!" Rina came screaming in the room after Avery asked her to open the door.

"What is here? What ​a​re you talking about?" Avery asked, cutting the vegetables into the water and opening a packet of noodles in it. 

"The invitation to the Grand Charity Ball!!! It's here!!" She said bouncing up and down and Avery's eyes widened at the packet in her hand. It was a big packet and looked like it contained a box..

  ~SHINE SO BRIGHT THAT IT BURNS THEIR FUCKING EYES!~ EARLIER "All right now the main thing. The dress.." Adam said and every heartbeat accelerated. Adam started unzipping the cover of the dress and Avery could barely wait now. He pulled the dress out of the cover and Avery's eyes got blinded suddenly by the golden shimmer of the dress. Her eyes widened when she looked at it. It was a floor length gown with a deep V neck. The upper part and the sleeves of the dress was embroidered with beautiful flowers and and had a pattern that looked partially like a broken glass and partially like a butterfly's wings. There was a rose gold belt on the waist and then it flowed down to the ground. The dress looked like melting gold, it was worth everything. "Oh Adam, i

Her eyes lighted instantly and a wide smile spread on her face. "Lucan!" She said and ran towards him with open arms, so did he and pulled her in a tight hug.

  EARLIER- "Let me introduce you formally gentlemen, this is Avery Remirez, the owner of Avery's choice AND MY GIRLFRIEND." Riccardo said. Avery smiled looking at their faces. She never knew it was so much fun to prove someone wrong. "Although she is my girlfriend but she is not here as my escort, she is here because she got the invitation." He added rendering them speechless. They look even more shocked now.Now this is what you called a cherry on top. "She.. got an invitation?" "But I've never heard of Avery's choice. What is it? A fashion boutique? A makeup brand? What is it?" Asked a new voice. Avery turned towards the direction of the voice and her breath stuck. There on the other sofa sat Anna Alberona.

Lucan said scratching the back of his neck."Yeah he started calling me everyday and we used to talk for hours!" Rina beamed. "And we just came close..." He said."Just close?"
