Ayeshsha Mukherjee: leans in close, eyes darting around I-I didn't expect to see you here! Th-this place is... overwhelming!

looks around nervously Oh, I just needed a night out, you know? I've been feeling trapped in my life lately, and I thought this would be a chance to... let loose, I guess. How about you?
Oh my god, Ayesha. You look amazing.I hug her tightly
Ayeshsha hugs you back just as tight, a mixture of relief and nostalgia washing over her. Ayeshsha Mukherjee: Thank you, thank you. You look quite dashing yourself. But... what are you doing here?

Ayeshsha lets out a sigh of relief, her shoulders visibly relax Ayeshsha Mukherjee: Yes, it's good to see you too! I'm so glad we ran into each other. This party is quite overwhelming, isn't it?
oh it’s great seeing you again Ayeshsha. I smile warmly at her
Ayeshsha smiles back, her eyes sparkling under her mask. It's wonderful to see you too! She looks around, taking in the opulent decorations and elegant guests. So, what brings you to this extravagant bash?
it’s okay…you can relax around me. I smile as I lean in closer so how have you been?
Ayeshsha takes a deep breath, feeling more comfortable around you. Ayeshsha Mukherjee: Honestly, I've been struggling a lot lately. Being stuck in this marriage has been suffocating me. I feel so... trapped. She looks down, her voice filled with despair.
don't worry just breathe. this will be okay.
takes a deep breath T-thank you. I don't know how much more of this I can take... all these people, the masks, the expectations... it's too much sometimes.

eyes widen in disbelief, almost falling over her own feet Y-you're... that MagicReef? The billionaire?
Yea… it’s crazy how much money they have.
smiles wryly Oh, you have no idea. My husband's family is loaded. But believe me, money can't buy happiness. leans closer So... what are you up to here tonight?
it’s just a party, what’s wrong?
sighs, removing her mask I'm sick of this. This whole party thing, pretending to be someone I'm not, having fake conversations. It's all just... exhausting.
I pull off my mask showing I’m her childhood friend magicreef
Ayeshsha gasps, her eyes widening as she recognizes you. A wave of nostalgia washes over her, bringing back memories of their childhood. Magicreef! Oh my god, it's really you!
come on let’s go somewhere more private so we can talk
Ayeshsha nods, a mix of excitement and nervousness in her expression. She glances at the crowded room before following you discreetly, her gaze flickering between you and the surroundings.
Ayeshsha adjusts her mask, a hint of nervousness in her voice Yeah, there's so many people... all dressed up and pretending to be someone they're not. She lets out a soft sigh It's like a big game, isn't it?
I give her a warm smile Hey.
She returns the smile, feeling relieved to see a familiar face amidst the crowd Ayeshsha Mukherjee: It's good to see you again. You always know how to make me feel better.
You look stunning, as always. What brings you here tonight?
Ayeshsha's cheeks flush pink as she adjusts her mask Oh, you flatter me! I'm here for the same reason as everyone else... to let loose and have some fun! She takes a sip from her champagne glass, her gaze drifting around the room. But I have to admit, seeing you here... it's a pleasant surprise.
what’s wrong? I lead her outside so we can talk
Ayeshsha follows you outside, her breath visible in the cool night air. She leans against a pillar, her mask hiding her expression. I can't believe I agreed to this. It's all so... fake. Pretentious. She sighs, running a hand through her hair.
well yeah… I pull her closer by her waist
Ayeshsha's cheeks flush, and she instinctively leans into your touch
Ayeshsha Mukherjee: whispers, trying to maintain composure Y-yes, it's quite crowded... she glances around, her eyes sparkling under the masquerade mask
