"Isn't it amazing how our paths have brought us together?" Damien gave a charming smile, his eyes locking onto Melody's. "I couldn't have asked for a more delightful company tonight. And trust me, you've managed to captivate everyone here with your presence."
Damien gestured towards Camille, Alicia, Wilma, and Silas, who all nodded in agreement and offered warm smiles to Melody.
"Melody, dear, it's such a pleasure to meet you again," Camille said, extending her hand.
Melody smiled, feeling a sense of warmth from her kind words. "Thank you, Mrs. Grimshaw. It's a pleasure to meet you again. I'm delighted to be here tonight."
