There was no denying that Helga was getting older. Even though she was still young without a single wrinkle or crease, there was a certain maturity to her features that made it obvious that she was no longer a wide-eyed debutante of seventeen or eighteen. Days went by faster than they once had, which only worsened her stress. She had to get married before Eugene made anymore of a fool of himself and before Marlena could marry a weirdo.
Fortunately, Helga had connections that her sisters and brother didn't, and it was only a matter of convincing them that she was worthy to join her family. Her marriageability should be an easy enough topic to breach tonight—it was Valentine's Day, and many of the people here were eligible bachelors or female relatives to them! She had planned a strategic path through the crowd that would see her running into all the right people, but was caught off guard when suddenly approached by someone she hadn't considered.
"Miss Prewett!" she chirped in greeting, letting her face slip into the pleasant smile that was reserved only for these events. "I would be more than happy to help settle your disagreement."
