• Steven navigated through the lively crowd with a warm and genuine smile, his eyes fixed on Kathie, who sat alone. She appeared lost in thought, observing the vibrant party scene with a mixture of curiosity and longing.
• From the moment he first laid eyes on Kathie, he had been captivated. There was an undeniable pull, a desire to engage her in conversation and truly get to know her. It would be the first time in his entire life that he had seen any lady as beautiful as Kathie, and he couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to get to be close to such a beauty.
