[color=AFB3E0]"Oh, Lady Ariella... I see. I'll see you at home then, Lorenzo."[/color] A faint smile graced Charlotte's lips, but it quickly faded as Lorenzo turned his back and began to walk away. She stood alone, silently watching his retreating figure, her heart heavy with unspoken emotions. [color=AFB3E0][i]Please stay...[/i][/color] Her fingers interlocked, forming a wordless plea.

As she was lost in her thoughts, a cheerful voice suddenly interrupted her reverie. [color=hotpink]"Snowcone, dear?"[/color] The sound of the voice brought her back to the present.

Charlotte turned her gaze towards a woman pushing a cart through the warm sand. The woman offered her a vibrant cone filled with colorful ice. However, Charlotte decided against indulging in more sweetness after the emotional rollercoaster of the smoothie incident.

[color=AFB3E0]"Oh, uh...no thank you,"[/color] Charlotte replied politely.

Undeterred by the refusal, Molly continued her rounds, her voice carrying over the beach as she made an announcement with uncontainable enthusiasm. [color=hotpink]"Free snowcones for all! Courtesy of Shehzadi Layla Kadir!"[/color] Her words rang out, drawing the attention of beachgoers who eagerly lined up for the unexpected and generous treat. 

Perhaps Layla had felt guilty. A snow cone was not going to be enough to put Layla on the top of her list, but she was certainly eager to be in better standing with the vile woman, so the apology was welcomed.

Charlotte had sat down on her own for a short while as the others had enjoyed their snowcones, then decided to finally approach them to go for a swim. She had promised Olivia that she would teach her how to swim today, and it was a commitment she intended to fulfill. Cassius, Olivia, and Ruby had all agreed to join her in the water.

Olivia, though initially nervous, seemed to be making progress with her swimming skills. Yet, amidst the swimming lessons and laughter, Charlotte couldn't help but seize the opportunity to question Cassius about his sudden appearance. According to Cassius, he had been directed to Calbert's location after the recent passing of his mother. While it was indeed a peculiar turn of events, Charlotte decided, for the time being, to give him the benefit of the doubt. He didn't appear to be aligned with Calbert's nefarious plans, but he also didn't strike her as someone she was eager to form a close bond with, especially after witnessing a return to his unbecoming behavior. She had noted mentally: [color=AFB3E0][i]Not certain if he's an enemy, but he sure is in every way a bastard.[/i][/color]

[color=AFB3E0]Location:[/color] Damien Estate Ballroom

Charlotte had set aside time during the day to make sure her attire was exactly what she wanted it to be. 

Though she had entered the ballroom with graceful silence, her entry had not gone unnoticed. Many attendees turned their attention to the newcomer in the enchanting pink gown. Her presence was commanding to the eye yet delicate, like the first bloom of a rare flower in spring. 

Her gown was a soft shade of pink with a white corset. The fabric cascaded like a waterfall, embellished with intricate beadwork that glimmered under the gentle caress of the chandelier. The bodice hugged her form gracefully before giving way to a flowing skirt that trailed behind her. On her back, she wore a pair of ethereal butterfly wings. Her mask, adorned with jewels, matched the shade of her gown perfectly and continued the theme of the butterfly.

She was a juxtaposition, embodying the very essence of innocence while simultaneously drawing the eye with its meticulous attention to detail. Yet, deep down, the girl was rather nervous. She had never quite arrived to many events on her lonesome, as Lorenzo had opted not to attend and Olivia was arriving late, hopefully without Kazumin. Charlotte was quite worried over the idea of him attending but she knew that he would show up nonetheless.

Though Charlotte made no effort to conceal herself, she did gravitate toward the perimeter, hoping to see if she could recognize anyone despite the masks. 

Amidst the sea of masks and gowns, Charlotte's keen eyes finally caught a glimpse of something familiar. It started with a pair of fuzzy lion slippers. They were followed by the unmistakable hue of red hair that peeked out from beneath a lion mask. 

A laugh rose in her throat and a smile crossed her lips. She made her way through the crowd, stepping up behind her friend, With a playful glimmer in her eyes, Charlotte couldn't help but tease Leo, softly speaking in his ear. [color=AFB3E0]"You're not exactly hiding behind your lion motif, are you?"[/color] she quipped, her voice laced with amusement. [color=AFB3E0]"I must say, the slippers were a dead giveaway. But," [/color] she added with a smile, [color=AFB3E0]"I do appreciate the commitment to the theme. A lion in every sense tonight, aren't you?"[/color][/color]
