Enjoying the Moment
Finally, with only a few visitors left, I relaxed and started having more fun. With Jake at my side, we had each other even in the middle of the mayhem. I was reminded of the original reason we were there by moments like these. We danced briefly but meaningfully, laughed with friends, and avoided Karen’s busybody antics. Nothing could derail our happiness for the time being since we had a strategy in place.

Unexpected Late Night
Jake and I looked at each other knowingly as the night went on. It was time to see if everything had gone according to plan. Karen was occupied by other visitors, so we moved aside and pretended to be looking out a window. Jake whispered, “Do you think she’ll figure it out?” I chuckled, “Not until it’s too late.” We relished a quiet moment while eagerly awaiting the disclosure of our small practical joke.
