Chapter Six

Amelia

The party is already in full swing by the time Seb and I arrive. It's as private as any corporate party can get with only top executives and business magnates in attendance. I recognize some of the faces, and I wave hello as we navigate through the throng of bodies in fancy dresses and expensive suits. Soft jazz music is playing in the background while servers waltz through the crowd with platters of canapés.

There are no cameras in sight, but I know that pictures from the event will somehow make their way to the media by morning. It's the thirtieth anniversary party for Ecotech Inc., after all, one of the leading tech companies in Chicago. The CEO, Gabriel Foster, is a great man, one of the few people that I respect in the Chicago entrepreneurial world, and so even though the invitation had come at the last minute, I couldn't deny it. Thankfully, Seb agreed to be my date.

I smile up at him now, winding my arm tighter around his. I still feel the same way I did an hour earlier when he showed up on my doorstep to pick me up. I opened the front door and there he was, looking like a dream in his dark tailored tux with his long hair swept back stylishly. And then he brought out his hand from behind his back and presented me with a potted flower. A burst of butterflies erupted in my stomach, causing me to sputter and giggle like some love-struck teenage girl.

It felt like a scene from a movie, and I'm the main character.

Everything I've felt for him up to that moment suddenly makes sense. I've fallen in love with Seb. And although I'm not sure what to do with that discovery, I'm determined to live in the moment.

“I can't wait to introduce you to some of my friends,” I say, looking around for my brother and his wife. “They've been dying to meet my fiancé.”

My fiancé. I say the word like it's real. I want it to be real.

“I look forward to meeting them,” Seb says, looking at me with a tender smile.

I returned his smile, momentarily lost in the warmth of his captivating blue eyes.

“Amelia!” calls a familiar, bubbly voice.

I turn around, falling into the embrace of my best friend and sister-in-law, London Farrell.

“Hey, Lon! How're you doing?” I ask, pulling back a little to look at her with a surprised laugh. “I didn't expect to see you here.”

Curt and London rarely attend corporate parties like this one. Curt says they're too boring for his liking and London says she can't get used to the scene, but I suspect the two of them just love their own company too much. Running into her here like this is a pleasant surprise.

London laughs, a tinkling, heartwarming sound. "Yeah, Curt got an invite from Damon. You know how his wife, Dana, is best friends with Gabriel's wife. Anyway, the twins are away for summer camp, so Curt and I decided to step out and have some fun since it's a private party and all.
