Seraphina arrived
The door parted and finally, Seraphina made her appearance. She had emerged in a yellow dress, which matched the concept of the tea party itself.
Her silver hair that complemented the warm color of her clothes, was fluttering around her waist. She moved with grace, each step deliberate and poised.
She was wearing a bright red shawl, draped on her shoulder as a focal point. Raven had bought that shawl a few days ago, especially for Seraphina who often felt cold.
The shawl, which stood out even more than her own yellow dress, had straight away earned everyone's undivided attention. The richness of the fabric, combined with the bold color, made her the undeniable center of the room.
