Verity couldn't remember the last time she felt this at ease in a crowded space. Large gatherings usually set her nerves on edge and made her leery of everyone around them. However, tonight it was as though Everett and she were dancing in an empty room. She had eyes for none other but her husband, her gallant and handsome husband.
"It's your influence on me, you make me happy." She murmured in response to his compliment. Verity had always known she was beautiful in the vain and ambitious sort of sense. She was attractive which meant she would one day use her looks to secure a husband. Everything was different with Everett, though. She never thought about being beautiful or the unrelenting need to succeed, she could simply just be.
