She knew these people. She liked these people. She had grown up with them. She felt a connection to them, a bond. Her fingers brushed against the fabric of her dress, a simple, elegant style that made her feel at ease.

She took a deep breath. She could handle this. She began her speech, her voice clear and strong. She was in the perfect place.
