"You look absolutely stunning today, darling!" Emily hugged her daughter, then Patricia affectionately linked arms with her.
"You have no idea, Mom, I'm so nervous!"
"I've only seen these people in the newspapers."
"It all feels like a dream!"
Emily stroked the girl's hair, "You need to get used to all this." She glanced at Lance, "In the future, Lance will be attending such events frequently and mingling with these people, and a companion is the most crucial part of socializing."
"If you don't adapt, other bad girls will take your place!"
Her eyes seemed to speak as they locked onto Lance, with an obvious intention.
Lance quickly raised his hand, "My heart is only with Patricia."
Emily shook her head, "Some things are hard to change with mere will, Lance."
"Ahem... I think this isn't the right place to discuss this." William knew if they continued, it would soon be his turn.
