After agreeing to keep the marriage registration a secret, the siblings and Shanna spent the rest of the day together, celebrating the new couple. At around three in the afternoon, they returned home to start preparing for the sunflower ball.
Phoebe was assisted by her mother and Maria, and her mother was like a dragon breathing fire down her neck at every step. She perfected every detail of Phoebe's appearance as if she was about to go and meet a crown prince!
"Phoebe, you must remember every word I've told you," Jennie whispered urgently. "Tonight, you must secure your position as the most outstanding debutante at the ball."
Phoebe nodded, her expression a blend of determination and anxiety. Normally, she would brush off her mother's words, but she was going to that ball as the Mayfair heiress, not just shaman Phoebe.
