ngiti ni Lauren, marahang tinapik ang balikat ng kaniyang matalik na kaibigan.
Lauren looked breathtakingly mature. She was wearing a sleek, tailored minimalist black evening dress with a clean asymmetric neckline that accentuated her height and athletic posture. Her long dark hair fell past her shoulders in soft, cascading waves, and her architect’s license pin was pinned neatly to the fabric over her chest. She stood at the center of the exhibition hall, commanding the room with the absolute, effortless grace of a master builder.
