Guests arrive
Guests arrived, filling the house with chatter and laughter. The air was electric with excitement and curiosity.
My friends and family gathered, unaware of the storm about to unfold. I greeted everyone warmly, keeping my secret close to my chest.
The sound of mingling voices and clinking glasses made the party lively. My stepdad, in his usual manner, took center stage, playing the gracious host but unaware of what awaited him.
