72. The Party, Part 2
Amelia
The evening begins like any other party. Beautiful women in designer dresses and men in elegant tuxedos. Giusseppe leads me through the hall, introducing me to numerous people. Many of them are famous, though I only know them by name. I'm not familiar with the people in the world I want to enter, and I think that's why my Italian brought me here. Time flies, and soon my six months in this city and my studies will come to an end. I can't believe how quickly time has passed; it feels like just yesterday that I discovered my husband's betrayal. A long year. That means my wedding anniversary is also approaching. Life is curious. Now I'm with someone else, and he has married his proclaimed true love.
I think about this as I sit at one of the tables set for dinner
