Disappointed Princess

It had been three weeks (not that she was counting). But it had been three weeks since Camille last saw the shadow of Wei. Ever since he had taken her on that party, try as she might, she could not get him out of her mind.

When Wei asked her if she wanted to be Cinderella for a night, she thought he was making fun of her and angrily scrubbed at the plates she was washing. Her grandmother inquired about her agitation and she told her what Wuming said.

"What are you going to lose, anyway?" her grandmother asked. "If you don't feel safe, give me a call and I'll tell the police."

But the question was, was she going to get to that party?
