The Grimshaws residence was abuzz with activity as the evening approached. Damien was both excited and nervous, ensuring that everything was perfect for the dinner with Melody. He wanted to make a good impression and hoped that this evening would be a chance to get to know her better.
"You seem quite excited about tonight, dear. Is there something special about this dinner?"
As Damien chatted happily with his mother, Camille, he couldn't help but share his enthusiasm. "Well, Mom, there is. It's a surprise for you. I invited someone I met at the gala, and she's quite remarkable."
"Ah, you mean that lovely woman who helped me during the event? Melody Brynleigh, wasn't it?" Her eyes were sparkling as she mentioned the name.
"Yes, that's her. I can't stop thinking about her, and I want to get to know her better."
