“White satin?” she smirked. “Bold choice.”

Moments later, her wine tipped—slow and deliberate—across Vanessa’s gown.

Gasps fluttered through the room.

“Oh dear,” Brianna said theatrically.

Trevor frowned—not in defense, but irritation. “Vanessa, clean it up.”

He handed her napkins.

The orchestra continued. Guests looked away politely.

Brianna leaned in. “Since you’re the help tonight…”

Vanessa looked at her husband.

Waiting.

For correction. For support. For acknowledgment.

She let the napkins fall.

“I won’t,” she said quietly.

Then she walked toward the stage.
