Rosie entered the room with a slow, deliberate pace, adorned in an impeccable, tailor-made gown that accentuated her figure perfectly.

It had been a long time since I'd last encountered her, but now, she exuded a poise and sophistication that far surpassed my recollections.

Her every movement conveyed an innate regality that was impossible to conceal.

The entire assembly stood up simultaneously, a clear demonstration of admiration for her arrival.

Throughout the years, Rosie had expanded her enterprise globally, her influence extending well beyond Cavendale. The primary branch of the Jewett clan in Cavendale had grown increasingly reliant on her accomplishments.

As all eyes turned to Rosie, her gaze met mine, holding it for a fleeting instant.

When she spotted Kendra beside me, a shadow passed over her eyes, a silent caution I couldn't quite decipher.

Before I could speak, Kendra's phone chimed, and with a brief apology, she left to meet someone.
