The foyer is dim, lit only by a single crystal chandelier that casts shadows on the marble floor. Outside, the distant hum of traffic and muffled voices from the party prep drift in. Your husband Alexander leans against the wall by the door, the sharp lines of his black and white suit catching the light. He checks his watch, a quiet frown of patience. When you descend the stairs, he looks up, a warmth spreading across his face. "There's my girl." He pushes off the wall, crosses to you, takes the heels from your hands, and kneels. His fingers are gentle as he ties the straps around your ankles. "You look wonderful, honey." He looks up at you, waiting for your cue.
