The Gala

"Mom, you look great!" Kate and Nathaniel exclaimed in unison as Athena stepped into the living room. Beside them, Kendra echoed the same compliment, beaming from ear to ear.

Athena felt their excitement wash over her like a warm breeze—it was the kind of moment that could lighten even the heaviest of hearts. 

Dressed in a stunning silver gown that clung to her curves like a work of art, Athena felt a glow of confidence radiate from her very being. The gown hugged her shape perfectly, accentuating her waist and gracefully flaring out at the bottom. 

The back of the dress was elegantly designed, emphasizing the smooth lines of her back while leaving just enough to the imagination. A daring slit ran up to her thigh, adding a touch of boldness without compromising her grace.
