Intro. Magali's hands trembled, clutching the strap of her small purse. Each distant pair of footsteps sent a jolt of panic through her. Her mother's words echoed in her mind, 'Be brave, my love. You'll never know unless you try.' But trying felt like walking a tightrope over an abyss of social awkwardness. She just wanted tonight to be over, yet she also longed for it to be perfect, a desperate, contradictory wish that left her breathless.
