The hall was filled with excitement as the guests settled into their seats.
Dawn stood backstage with Daniel.
"Are you nervous?" he asked.
She nodded. "A little."
He smiled. "Don't worry. Everything is ready."
She looked towards the stage.
The large screen was still blank, and the show's logo was displayed on either side.
She took a deep breath. "Let's do this."
Daniel gave her a thumbs-up.
The host of the event stepped onto the stage and welcomed everyone.
He spoke briefly about the journey behind the show, thanked the guests for coming, and invited Dawn to join him.
The applause began before she even stepped onto the stage.
Dawn smiled as she walked forward.
She waved at the guests and took her place beside the host.
"Good afternoon, everyone."
"Good afternoon!" The audience replied.
"First, I want to thank you all for coming. This is a very special day for me, and I'm grateful that you've chosen to share it with me."
She paused and looked around.
