Yara Quillan reached up and caressed the side of her face that had been slapped. A faint smile touched her lips as she looked at Sean Lowell, the meaning in her eyes perfectly clear. 'What happens next is up to you.'
Sean Lowell did not disappoint. He pulled the microphone closer, and as he spoke, he rose to his feet and drew Yara Quillan into his arms. "I have never publicly acknowledged Sharon Grant as my girlfriend. From the very beginning, I have only had one girlfriend, and that is Yara Quillan, standing beside me right now. To be honest with you all, Yara and I have been in love for a long time."

A dead silence descended, which was then shattered by a frantic barrage of questions hurled at the trio.
Sharon Grant clearly never expected Sean Lowell to say such a thing. She stood frozen in place, at a complete loss, staring at him with a look of pure heartache.
