The day had come: the eighteenth birthday of her baby sister.
It had alarmed her greatly when she learned from Aileigh that Elisa had never once celebrated her birthday. In fact, Elisa was not entirely sure when her birthday was prior to finding her true identity. While the information had been given, no obvious plans were made. Instead, Cordelia worked with Elisa's best friend to put together the perfect birthday party... A surprise birthday. Her first birthday party. And it was a big day at that! The baby Elisabeth she had once known was now a beautiful young woman. Cordelia was proud of the woman Elisa had become, despite the circumstances of her abduction and neglectful childhood.
The party would be at Redcroft, with the permission of her cousin. Streamers and banners were string up in the garden where Thea and Aileigh's wedding took place. Tables were set up and soon, food and drinks filled them. Staff bustled about to make things to Cordelia's vision. She wanted things to be perfect. Elisa deserved for it to be perfect. By noon, Redcroft had been transformed into the perfect party setting. Soon, Aileigh would be bringing Elisa and Anno over to Redcroft for a "visit".
In the meantime, Cordelia went to the guest room her, Rhozin, and Winter were staying in. (Winter had grown fussy at night and the new parents gave into having their little redhead sleeping in the bed , between them.) The changed her outfit from the simply gown she had been dictating in to something more festive. Yellow silk clung to her arms and chest before spilling out from her hips. A laced pattern was sewn into the tops of her sheer sleeves, across her chest, and down the front of her corset. It reappeared at the edge of the dress, which touched the ground and concealed her matching yellow slippers. Her hair was partially pulled back, soft curls cascading down her back with a tiara sat atop. The piece was a personal favourite because it made her thing of both wild nature and the stag. Besides, it made her seem taller by adding an extra two inches. Yellow gems and pearls brightened the darker gold metal, matching the colours of her gown. A string of pearls laid across her chest, with teardrops of the yellow gems hanging from each ear. All in all, she felt very summery... Perfect for a June party.
She picked up the wrapped gift sat on the dresser and headed back downstairs. She was in search of her husband and daughter, as well as her cousin who was wandering around somewhere.
