The audience watched intently with admiration and envy as they focused on me.

Daniel stood casually in the audience while fixing his gaze on Hayley as if nothing else in the room existed.

His champagne glass was tilted precariously, almost spilling, yet he didn’t seem to notice. It was as if his soul had been stolen.
