At sundown, he opened the door to a sultry Isabella adorned in pink. Her raven hair was pulled back from her face while a sapphire necklace embellished her slender neck.

“You look stunning,” he complimented.

“Here are your shoes,” she said, handing back his boots, which were now sparkling clean. “The guests are waiting for you to come down. So don’t be late.”

As Isabella walked off, Samuel slipped his feet into the boots, straightened his clothes, and stepped on to the landing. Hearing her guests mingling in the living room, turned his expression sour.

Samuel took the stairs one step at a time, and reached the blue-walled living room where two men and two women lounged on chairs. The stouter gentleman glaring at Samuel from across the room. Samuel approached Isabella and her female friends, whose faces flushed at the sight of him.

“Let me introduce you to everyone,” began Isabella. “The red-haired girl is Hannah, the brown-haired girl, Martina. The short man sitting on the chair is Sanchez, and the plump one is…”

“Raul.” The guests frowned at Samuel’s answer. “It’s a pleasure to meet you all.”

“You speak Spanish too? Wherever did you find such a man?” enquired Hannah.

“He simply appeared out of thin air,” joked Isabella.

“If you ever get tired of him, be sure to let me know,” Hannah said.

Samuel read her mind and flinched at her thoughts.

One of the women played the pianoforte, and Samuel offered Isabella his hand. She took it, and they waltzed round the room while the others observed. The couple flaunted an eerie chemistry that made it seem like they belonged with each other, but all he saw was Alexandra staring back. As the dance progressed, he waltzed with Alexandra in the hall of mirrors, feeling her wedding dress brush against his skin. There was no one in the hall besides them, and her company made his damaged heart soar.

“I love you, Alexandra,” he declared.

“That’s the second time you’ve called me that,” Isabella said, stopping the waltz.

Samuel looked again, and noticed Isabella watching him with a furrowed brow as the others stared in silence.

“I’m sorry, but I, I have to leave,” he stuttered.

Samuel hurried through the room in a panic. Just before he left the house, he turned back to see Isabella was no longer with her friends.

He ran through the grounds and ended up on a street crammed with people enjoying a night out. Experiencing the happiness of those around him filled him with envy, and he wanted to be free from its curse. He stopped by an open-air stage where a production of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was being performed, and caught the eye of the young actress playing Juliet. The image of an elderly lady reflected in the girl’s irises made him lash round. At first all he saw was the hurly-burly of revellers, but his eyes narrowed when he spotted the mysterious woman waiting idly on a corner.

He stormed up to her and noticed that she had wrinkles on her face, and straw-like grey hair that came down to her elbows.
