The shooting

Amelia arrived at the grand party venue in the sleek black car, her heart pounding. As she stepped out, her gown shimmered under the golden lights of the massive hall. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves as she walked towards the entrance.

Inside, the party was already in full swing. Guests dressed in glamorous outfits mingled, sipping on drinks and laughing. The atmosphere was rich and elegant, and Amelia felt like she didn't belong.

Before she could get too far, Dawson appeared. His sharp suit made him look even more imposing, and his smile was warm as he approached her.

"You look breathtaking," Dawson said, taking her hand gently. Before she could respond, he lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it lightly.

Amelia felt her cheeks heat up. "Thank you," she said softly, managing a small smile.
