Anna approached the Town Hall, dragging her feet. The hall was an ostentatious building that dominated the town square. It was usually empty but today it was littered with a crowd of nervous young adults standing silently in front of the marbled steps of the building. Anna rubbed her gloved hands together and swallowed down the lump in her throat. With a heavy heart, she joined the crowd. Today. Today was the day that will change her life forever. A purple number seven. Somewhere in this mob was someone with the matching coloured number. That person is her life-partner.
