"Sure." The next day, the weather was beautiful. Thalia changed into the blue halter maxi dress she'd bought at the mall, applied light makeup, and casually pinned her hair ---- back. She didn't go for any special styling or full makeup.
Today was Lucia's birthday, and Thalia didn't want to overshadow her or steal her spotlight. Asher sat nearby, waiting for her. Thalia packed a small suitcase with a change of clothes and toiletries. When she finished, Asher put his arm around her as they walked out of the villa. A black Cullinan was parked outside. Asher's assistant, Liam, drove them to the harbor. The azure sky was so pure it lifted their spirits. The sea breeze carried a refreshing, moist scent.
Acollection of white sailboats and yachts were docked at the port. Among the vessels stood an enormous white cruise ship, its ---- lines flowing and elegant, massive in size-like a floating palace on the sea, grand and majestic. This was the cruise ship where Lucia would hold her birthday party. Ared carpet extended from their feet all the way to the ship's entrance. On either side of the carpet stood uniformed hostesses with sweet smiles. White-gloved crew members carried Thalia's luggage.
Thalia walked up the gangway onto the ship and soon encountered Lucia. She looked beautiful today, dressed in her finest. She wore a shimmering blue-violet mermaid gown, the hem swaying gently like a glistening lake at dawn-both gentle and elegant. Around her neck was an exquisite, dazzling blue diamond necklace, with earrings and bracelets in matching colors to complement her dress. ---- "Thalia, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you," Lucia smiled as she approached.

This was the first the'd ever attended her birthday celebration. Thalia didn't miss Lucia's subtle expression. She smiled teasingly, "Were you waiting foror for him?" Lucia pretended to glare at her. "Can't I wait for both?" "Happy birthday, Lucia. This is your gift," Thalia handed her present to Lucia. Lucia accepted it, smiling. "Oh, I get a gift too? How sweet of you." From the corner of her eye, Thalia noticed a large table nearby piled with various gift boxes and bags. Aman and woman sat there, recording the names of guests and the types of gifts they brought. Other people's gifts were registered and placed on that table, which was already piled high like a small mountain. Only Thalia's gift did Lucia accept personally. "['ve invited many people today-sfriends, sfriends of friends.
You don't mind the crowd, do you?" Lucia asked as she led Thalia into the ship's interior."Not at all. A birthday should be lively with lots of people."
