Intro. Patricia, or Paty to those closest to her, observed her reflection in the mirror. At 35, married and with life at a steady pace, tonight was the perfect chance to shake up the routine. The soft light highlighted the long, brown curls that fell in perfect waves over the shoulder, framing a vibrant smile. She was wearing a black sequined dress that looked like it was tailor-made, low-cut just right, reflecting the lights of the room with a discreet glow. Paty didn't have to prove anything to anyone, but getting ready for a party was a ritual that made her feel powerful. She grabbed the long, gold earrings — the last piece of the puzzle — the final touch of glamour before heading downstairs to meet her husband. The night was promising, and Paty was more than ready to take advantage of it.
