"Tito, where is Angelo?" Emily asked while scanning the crowd for any signs of her husband.
"He told me that he wanted to be alone, but I'll have the rest of the guards look for him," Tito reassured her.

"Madam, do you need something?" She paused and looked at the young server who had asked her.
"Yes, I am looking for my husband," Emily responded bravely while holding onto her purse as though her life depended on it.
