As they walked towards the ballroom, Ken turned to Annie and said softly, "You are so gorgeous, as always."

Annie blushed slightly, her eyes sparkling. "Thanks, Ken. You're incredibly handsome yourself, and your aura is different tonight. It's... more captivating."

Annie extended her hand, meeting Tom's gaze with a friendly smile. "Nice to meet you, Tom."

Tom's eyes widened with recognition. "Are you the Architect Annie Peters who designed that stunning building in Italy?"

Annie nodded modestly. "Yes, that's me. Thank you for the compliment."

Tom's face lit up with genuine admiration. "What an honor to meet you in real life. Your work is truly inspiring."
