Mona's view of the party (1)

Author's note: this is from Mona's point of view

I was bummed to hear that Marius will not be around for this event.

To be honest, I have no idea why that man is still on my mind. Other than a few mysterious gazes and smirks that were between enchanting and mocking, he never showed any reaction toward me no matter how much I used my feminine charms.

So, why am I still infatuated with him? Maybe it's one of those cases of forbidden fruit and I want to seduce him only to prove my point.

Irresistible darkness surrounds that man, pulling me closer and muddling my mind. I'm probably going crazy. Maybe it's madness that comes with age.

In any case, I should focus on all the delectable men I have around. The ones that are willing. There are plenty of those.
