The first sounds they heard were sounds of heels, their gazes focused on the stairs. Poppy stepped down the first stair, the second and continued down, until she finally came into view.
Floor length sleeveless black dress, with encrusted debris of diamonds at the bosom, hugged her body so perfectly, it felt so made for her. Golden hair, brighter under the light of the chandelier bounced beautifully down to her bottom, and not even the pair of glasses she wore, could hide the hazel of her eyes.

"Poppy…" Cily breathed out.
Ramon blinked rapidly. "What's…going on?"

"What is the meaning of this?" she asked.
