What’s Changed and What’s the Same

One night, following the start of the social season, I put on an elegant dress and made my way to the palace. Tonight, there was a large ball held in the palace’s event hall, and both Phil and I had received invitations. Despite that, the second prince, who was the host of the party, immediately called for Phil after the party started so we went our separate ways.

“Oh, Viola. You’re here too?”

As I stood in the crowd, a sweet voice reminiscent of a tinkling bell reached my ears. I turned around to see my best friend, Lady Jamie Preston. She was wearing a cute pink dress and next to her was Lord Hugo, her lover. Seeing how close they were made me happy.

“I’m going to go spend some time with my friends, so take your time catching up,” Lord Hugo said as he dipped his head at me.

“We will, thanks,” Jamie replied.

Lord Hugo turned and disappeared into the crowd mingling about the hall. Jamie often boasted about him under the guise of telling me about Lord Hugo, and he was certainly a kind and lovely person.

I’m glad that the both of us found such wonderful partners, I thought as I accepted a glass from one of the waiters. Jamie and I clinked our glasses together as cheers. Apparently, Jamie drank too much the other day and made a fool of herself, so she was holding herself back.

“Viola, you’ve been really pushing yourself lately, haven’t you? You’ve always been a bit of a shut-in and only participated in the bare minimum of social gatherings. But I’ve been seeing you a lot more lately. You looked lovely during the Founder’s Festival too.”

“Thank you. Now that I’ve decided to marry Phil of my own will, I have to make sure I’m a suitable wife for him.”

When I marry Phil, I will eventually become Duchess Lawrenson. In the past, I had been reluctant to marry Phil and attain that title. I kept running away from my future responsibilities, pretending that they didn’t exist. However, now that I’d decided to spend the rest of my life at Phil’s side, I wanted to change the way I viewed my future and work hard to better myself.

“That’s amazing. I’m sure Lord Phillip’s happy about that.”

“Maybe. I’m not sure.”

“He must be. Looking at you now, it’s hard to imagine that you came up with such a crazy lie,” Jamie giggled, sounding like she was having fun teasing me.

After I resolved my various misunderstandings with Phil, I confessed to Jamie that I’d lied to her about my amnesia and apologized. But she didn’t seem angry or surprised. She’d simply smiled and said, “To tell you the truth, I had a feeling that was the case.” Apparently, she’d had her suspicions ever since the class reunion, which we went to in order to meet Lord Hugo. I’d accidentally told her that I found him, and she’d thought it strange. I didn’t even realize I’d made that mistake.
