There were various reasons for one to throw a party. To flaunt your wealth. To make the level of your influence crystal clear to all attendees. To make connections.
In Isaâs case, it was all of the above. But sheâd also done it for the fashion.
Ever since she was a girl, sheâd taken any excuse she could get to drape herself in expensive fabrics and beautiful jewelry. And Halloween? It was a theatre kidâs dream. Who better to throw the party of the century than a girl who had always gone entirely too hard for the holiday?
She had made sure that her outfit for the evening would be pitch perfect, the gold standard for the theme. Sheâd hired one of her favorite designers to craft a unique dress, arranged for equally as unique accessories that conveyed the story of Persephone, and brought in a makeup artist from out of town. New York out of town - not some rinky-dink little West Virginia spot just a smidge larger than Gravewood.
And she looked fucking spectacular.
The same, sadly, could not be said for Samuel Dyer.
Sheâd just emerged from the dance floor when she spotted a tall man with skeleton makeup on nearby, and it hadnât been difficult to make an identification from there.
Two-dollar carnival face painting and jeans? Several people had put in a valiant effort to be up to par for an Isadora Morgan⹠soiree, but he was not one of them. It barely helped that the jeans were black.
God, did an embossed invitation mean nothing?
âAnd the specific god or monster that you are is...?â she questioned, grateful that sheâd stepped far enough away from the music to be heard. Sheâd maybe had a glass of champagne or two by that point (stashed away specifically for her), but inebriated or not, she knew sheâd want to be heard.
