The ballroom was illuminated by crystal chandeliers that reflected golden light on the walls. Finely set tables, soft music in the background, and the polite murmur of guests created a scene of perfect elegance.

Eduardo, always by her side, kept his hand on her waist like a protective anchor.

Elisa... her voice came out soft, almost hesitant. I... I really needed to talk to you.
Elisa blinked, surprised. Sophia? What are you doing here? Her tone was more cautious than hostile.
