"That's because I'm already pretty without trying." "Yeah." Finnegan smiled tenderly. "I'm sure you trustnow. Come, let's go there." Esther agreed, thinking they were just going to a party.

"It's a party full of celebrities," Finnegan explained, grabbing two glasses of champagne from a waiter. He handed one to Esther.
"Then why are we here?" Esther asked, feeling silly as soon as the words left her mouth. She took a sip of her champagne to hide her embarrassment.
