She couldn't hide anything from her close friends, Ellie realized as she sighed.  They knew her inside and out.  Ellie took her hands in Olga's and drew her closer. Olga's violet bouquet felt strange to her as she wondered why they were in such formal clothing at a carnival.  But she threw those thoughts out of her mind.  Her suspicions didn't need to be a part of this event.  "As it is my birthday and we are celebrating something together, let's not speak too much of our problems. If there was an issue, I wouldn't let it go on to.  I'm not the type of person who would be alright with that as it would be apparent to everyone.  I'm a pretty open book.  But look around us at what you can see, my partner created all of this for me, he brought you all here to see me happy. Whether he is good for me, I've never felt this way. I'm just taking it day by day. Every day I have been Mrs. Wong I have always felt taken care of."
