Sophie fidgeted with the hem of her dress, her eyes sparkling. She couldn't stop herself from smiling, a constant, involuntary twitch at the corners of her mouth. The room was alive with chatter and the clinking of glasses. The music was perfect.

Her dad, looking dapper in a navy blue suit, gave her a reassuring nod. The sight of him sent a surge of affection through her. She felt like she could fly. She reached the microphone, her hands shaking slightly.

She spoke about her mom and dad, filled with love and warmth. She felt a lightness within herself. It was a beautiful evening, one she would cherish forever.
