Tom heard some noise behind him and instinctively turned around.

When his eyes locked onto me, he remained silent for a long time, which made me a little nervous. I quickly looked down and asked, "What... What's wrong? Is this dress not good?"

Tom extended his arm toward me, grinning with a charming mix of confidence and gentlemanly flair.

I laughed softly and linked my arm with his, walking with him toward the banquet hall.

He chuckled and took my hand from his arm. "My fiancée."
