The Invitation
Emily began creating invites for a big occasion when she and her mother sat at the desk in the hotel room. Naturally, Derek and the other guests were unaware that it was all a hoax. Curiosity was piqued by the sophisticated yet ambiguous invites. Emily had a mixture of anxiety and excitement as she closed each packet. This was the first step in implementing her strategy.

The RSVPs began to come in one by one. Despite being unaware of the true purpose of the event, friends, family, and most importantly, Derek, confirmed their presence. Emily recorded every reaction because she needed as many people to see her idea as possible. Every time a fresh confirmation arrived, she couldn’t help but smile. Every player was present, and the stage was prepared.
