The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

"I'm definitely nervous, but more than that, I'm excited and looking forward to interacting with other veteran actors tonight."

"What an impeccable answer from Melody Sanders, everyone. It seems she's come prepared tonight. But I noticed that most female actors attending tonight have male companions. Did you not consider bringing one yourself?"

Melody was puzzled. What did the Golden Feather Awards have anything to do with having a male companion? After all, they were all walking with their cast members.

"Um, I had one, but now I've been separated from him by you," Melody replied playfully.

The host had been staring behind her the whole time, and she thought maybe she had taken up too much time, but the host did not seem eager to take back the microphone.

"Yeah, I'm sorry for separating you from your fellow cast members. Let me make it up to you by giving you a male companion-"

The screams from the audience almost lifted the roof off. Melody was utterly bewildered. As she followed the host's gaze, she saw Lucas approaching with a smile, his steps firm and determined. Melody was initially shocked, but her inability to contain her smile betrayed her. All the nervousness about how to respond without making mistakes vanished the moment she saw Lucas.

She could not help but walk toward him, but Lucas did not want that. His strides grew larger, and he reached Melody in just a few steps.
