Leon could have stayed with Eli on her table. But he knew that monopolizing her would gather more watchful eyes. With a reluctant look, he bowed, thanked Eli and moved to go to where Olivier and Blaze were.

Alicia, dressed in a navy blue ball gown with silver accents smiled at Eli with a hint of teasing. With her now black hair, she looked like an alluring lady who was brimming with confidence and sophistication.
