Once seated, she remained completely still, her fingers curling slightly against her lap as she strained to listen.
Outside, the faint sound of footsteps echoed as more women entered the restroom, their chatter blending into the background.
Then, a voice, clear and unmistakably amused, broke through.
"Aurora looked absolutely adorable when she was trying to hide the fact that she was Miss Dawn."
The words struck Adriana like a thunderclap.
Her eyes widened, her breath catching in her throat as her hand flew to cover her mouth.
'Aurora… is Miss Dawn?'
No, that couldn't be right. That wasn't just surprising... it was absurd.
'How can Aurora, my little sister, be Miss Dawn?'
Her thoughts spiraled as Emily's voice rang out again, laced with fondness.
"What can I do? My own goddaughter is just too capable."
A soft chuckle followed, and Adriana could almost picture the nostalgic smile on Emily's face.
