At the party.
Valerie and Greg, surrounded by their guests, hit the dance floor. The music pulsed, and the couple swayed to the rhythm, lost in the joy of the moment.
Ruby stood at the side, her eyes shining with excitement as she watched her parents in the sea of guests, dancing to the slow and sensual music.
"Go, Mommy, go Daddy!" Ruby squealed, bouncing up and down in enthusiasm. Her tiny hands clapped vigorously, urging her parents on, as if they were in a dance competition. Sometimes, she would also move to the beat, swaying her hips left and right.
The loud music silenced her voice, preventing her parents from hearing her, but the guests standing around her couldn't help but giggle at the child's infectious energy.
Mrs. Humphrey and Old Mrs. Wright couldn't stop themselves from laughing boisterously. Their eyes shone with amusement and love.
"Oh, Ruby, you're quite the cheerleader!" Mrs. Humphrey laughed.
