The light that shined in the barn annoyed me. Even the weak men of the barn were doing something tonight. Why did I always have to be the one left alone? The boredom of this place was getting to my nerves. I should’ve stayed with the guy I met at the Riverside Dance Palace. Surely‚ if I had stayed with him‚ I would be a star in Hollywood right now.

“Once upon a time…” Sitting in my chair‚ looking at my vanity. I sat there waiting for my third sister to retrieve me for the ball that the Duke was having. I looked at the liar in the mirror.
