Because I never did.
I wore a silver gown from a Paris designer.
Simple.
Elegant.
Impossible to ignore.
Conversations paused as I crossed the ballroom.
Ethan spotted me.
His expression relaxed.
Good.
I wanted him relaxed.
Sophia stood beside him.
She smiled politely.
The audacity almost impressed me.
Neither of them knew what was coming.
At eight o’clock the foundation president stepped onto the stage.
“Tonight we honor excellence in medicine…”
Applause followed.
Awards were presented.
Speeches delivered.
Donations announced.
Everything proceeded exactly as planned.
Until Ethan
