Despite keeping to herself for most of the ball, Ella was still enjoying the event. Just watching everyone dance from the sidelines and listening to snippets of conversations was enough to keep her content. She’d felt plenty of eyes on her when she first entered the ballroom, but for the most part everyone had ceased paying her any mind after she took up residence on the edge of the party. Kit had approached her for a dance not long after she’d arrived, but since declining his offer she’d been alone. She spotted Rapunzel’s roommates, Flynn and Cass, talking not too far away, but her friend didn’t seem to be with them. A few other people she knew were scattered across the room, all in the midst of conversations that Ella didn’t want to interrupt. 

Still on the lookout for any of her stepsiblings, Ella decided a refreshment was in order and made her way over to the table where she’d heard some kind of sparkling wine was being offered. She couldn’t remember who was providing the drinks at the ball, only that it was one of the many festival sponsors. Ella reached out for a glass of what she assumed was prosecco, only for her hand to collide with another reaching for the same one. “I’m sorry, please go ahead,” Ella withdrew her hand with a smile. Her lips stayed upturned when she realized she knew the man standing beside her, “Hello Charlie, are you enjoying the ball?”
