Her Decision

Three days before the charity gala...

Edward fixed his gaze on Melody, his eyes filled with anticipation as he waited for her reply.

In that moment, the air seemed charged with tension, and Melody could feel the weight of his question. She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before speaking. There was something about the way he looked at her, with that intensity in his eyes, that made her feel uneasy.

Taking a moment to gather her thoughts, she met his gaze with a soft smile. "What is it, Edward?"

Edward repeated his question in curiosity. "So, have you made a decision? Will you be attending the gala?" 

Melody appreciated his concern and involvement in her new life. Taking a moment to reflect, she considered the possibility of attending the charity gala. It was a chance to embrace new experiences and perhaps meet new people who could add more joy and depth to her life.
