Vince’s Moment
Vince basked in the spotlight as if he were the star of the evening, his grin stretching wider with every compliment tossed his way. He glanced around the room, savoring the admiration like a king holding court, completely unaware of the storm approaching. His confidence clung to him like armor, but he had no idea that the truth, sharp and unforgiving, was about to cut through it in front of the very crowd he believed he’d won over.

A few family members looked over, then shrugged it off, missing the undercurrent entirely. If Vince felt the sting of my comment, he didn’t let it show.
