He was completely dumbfounded.
She was too beautiful.
It wasn't until she asked for the second time that Hector came to his senses: "Yes, I am."
He then asked, "And you are...?"
The woman introduced herself: "You can call me Lyra, I'm a friend of Lyra Smith."
Lyra?
What a cute name.
Actually, even if she hadn't brought up the name Lyra Smith, Hector would have recognized her as the companion Lyra had introduced for the evening. He had already seen the photo, but Hector didn't expect her to look even better in person than in the picture.
She completely exceeded his expectations.
Lyra Smith sure knows how to do things - introducing such a wonderful beauty to him!
Seeing that Hector couldn't take his eyes off her, Lyra Smith reminded him: "Mr. Allen?"
Hector came to his senses, realizing his behavior was a bit inappropriate: "Sorry, I was being rude."
Lyra Smith gave a shallow smile, then looked towards the entrance and said to Hector, "Shall we go in?"
