Claire nodded, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. "I'll be ready. Thank you, Ethan, for helping me through all of this. and thank you for everything else too"
"Of course. Don't you worry siso. We're all here for you," Ethan said sincerely.
"I'll pick you up at seven. It's going to be a great night."
As Ethan left, Claire felt a mix of feelings, fear, joy, and a burning desire to prove herself. She spent the rest of the day prepping for the dinner, picking a beautiful dress and practicing her words.
When Ethan arrived at seven, Claire was ready. She felt a mix of butterflies and determination as she stepped into the car. Ethan gave her a positive smile.
"You look amazing, Claire. You're going to be the star of the night," he said.
"Thank you, Ethan. I'm scared, but I'm also excited," Claire admitted.
