Nyla turned to Valarie, unable to suppress her concern. "Valarie, maybe you should think over this engagement a bit more." Spending a lifetwith someone she didn't love would be painful-like reliving the sunfulfilling day over and over.

"Nyla, I'd like to be alone for a while, so I'll leave you here," Valarie said, excusing herself.
"Alright, but don't wander off too far. The event will be starting soon," Nyla reminded her.
Valarie nodded and quickly walked away.

Once steady, she took a deep breath and turned to thank her rescuer. To her surprise, it was Gabriel.

"No need to thank me. It was our maid who bumped into you. I owe you an apology, Ms. Kinsey," he said. Just then, Damon arrived at Nyla's side.
