The morning sun spilled golden light over the city as Delphinia maneuvered through the streets, her thoughts racing ahead to the task that now rested firmly on her shoulders. The weight of responsibility settled in, but with Evander's approval from last night, she felt a little more at ease. It was reassuring to know that he trusted her to handle something as important as his birthday celebration.
Still, planning a grand party for a Walton was no small feat. Delphinia had sent a text to Elaine the moment Evander gave his consent, and within minutes, her mother-in-law responded with a message that made Delphinia smile: I knew I could rely on you.
That single sentence brought warmth to her heart, but also a heavy realization—she had no experience planning such an extravagant event. The closest she had come was arranging a small birthday gathering for Valerie, and even then, it had been a modest affair. This, however, would be on a completely different scale.
