Stella twirled through her emotions on the dance floor.

The significance of the chosen number plate was undeniable, affecting both the order of presentation and the final results.

“Go on, you’ve got this.”

The host commenced the introductions.

Matthew, stationed offstage, watched Stella with admiration and delight.
