The moment Tavon stepped into the grand banquet hall, his eyes instinctively searched for Salma. He spotted her in a sumptuous evening gown, seated in the front row with little Pattie by her side. His heart swelled at the sight of Anastasia, his daughter, on stage.

“Grammy, I need to use the restroom.” Pattie chimed.

“Okay, darling, hold on a bit. I’ll take you there.” Salma replied, guiding Pattie towards the restrooms.

Meanwhile, Herman, hand-in-hand with Anastasia, descended the stage, signaling the commencement of the banquet. Herman was every inch a gentleman, attentively holding up the train of Anastasia’s dress. He was meticulous about every detail.

Lauren sauntered up and complimented, “Anastasia, you look absolutely stunning tonight.”

“Thank you.” Anastasia replied, blushing slightly under the attention.
