Chapter 78: Single or not

Cassie entered the "Singles in Maccon City Annual Holiday Ball" wearing the ridiculously high heels that went with the deep red gown her stepmother had gotten for her.

The dress was off the shoulder with a tight bodice and a long flowing skirt made of silk and chiffon. The blood red color looked spectacular with her ivory skin and reddish-brown hair done long in a fifties-style do.

She even wore a sprig of mistletoe attached to one of her hair combs. She loved the way it added to the holiday theme of the evening. Cassie always loved Christmas, and she couldn't wait to share the evening with David.

She'd taken special care with her appearance. Grateful for her years on Broadway and her many friends who were wizards when it came to cosmetics, she'd learned how to use them to enhance her features. She didn't wear a lot of make-up generally, but tonight was special.
