DANA
Valerie saw me at the side of the stage and cocked her head, signaling me to come up. I did, after three batches of deep breaths. What just happened at the back stage rocked my world into crumbs and I know the aftershock has still hasn't hit. I know I don't have it in my system yet. later, when the crowd silences and my thoughts ponder, I know that's when it hits. The loss, the burn, the damage.
"everyone, let us welcome onstage, our Lady Tycoon and the one and only face of Russel Co, Miss Dana Russel!" – Valerie announced, trying her best to still sound like everything's under control
Unlike earlier, the applause wasn't that loud this time.
