Housewarming Party

Ellen stood in front of her full-length mirror, taking one last look at herself before heading to Helga's housewarming party. She had chosen a simple yet elegant navy-blue dress that fell just below her knees.

As she admired her reflection, Ellen couldn't help but think about her eagerness to attend the party. There were two main reasons driving her enthusiasm. First, she saw this as an opportunity to gather more information about Mason. Any tidbits about his past or his relationships could help her understand him better. Second, she genuinely liked Helga and was looking forward to socializing a bit. It had been a while since she had made a new friend, and Helga seemed like someone she could connect with.
