The day of the award ceremony dawned with a flurry of excitement and nervous anticipation.
Mia and I had spent the last two days exploring Caspia, immersing ourselves in its vibrant culture and delightful cuisine, but today was different.
Today was the culmination of our hard work and dreams.
I woke up early, the first light of dawn filtering through the hotel curtains. The excitement of the ceremony made it impossible to sleep in.
I glanced over at Mia, who was still sound asleep, her face peaceful and relaxed. Today, we were both contenders for prestigious awards...
Mia for young fantasy, and myself for contemporary romance.
It felt surreal.
As I slipped out of bed and made my way to the bathroom, the nerves began to set in. This ceremony could be a turning point in my career.
