The Day of the Party…
The mansion buzzed with life and celebration. Guests filled the grand hall, their conversations blending seamlessly with the soft, elegant music drifting through the air. The rich aroma of fine wine mingled with the delicate fragrance of fresh flowers, creating an atmosphere both warm and luxurious.
Gracie and Vincent stood at the center of it all, accepting congratulations from friends and relatives who gathered around them. Some were genuinely delighted to see the couple still standing strong after so many years together, while others masked their envy behind polite smiles.
Several women showered Gracie with compliments.
"You look as stunning as ever," one of them remarked. "It's like time has not touched you. You are still so graceful and radiant."
Gracie laughed lightly. "You are flattering me."
"She is not exaggerating," another added. "You've taken such good care of yourself. Even now, you carry yourself beautifully."
