Snow In Sin
Twenty minutes later I went looking for Sophia because I needed a distraction from whatever the hell that conversation had been.
I found her in the ballroom directing staff about decoration placement, and when she saw me she smiled.
"Emma, perfect timing," Sophia said, dismissing the workers with a wave. "I wanted to show you the lighting options for the gala."
She dimmed the overhead lights and suddenly the room was bathed in soft golden glow from hidden fixtures, and it was beautiful in a way that made my chest ache.
"What do you think?" Sophia asked, moving closer.
"It's perfect," I said, but I was looking at her instead of the lights.
