The wedding reception was already in full swing when Daniel Carter raised a champagne glass near the center of the ballroom.
He wore a black tuxedo.
Beside him stood his new bride, Victoria, glowing in a white lace gown.
Guests laughed and toasted beneath the chandeliers.
A young maid named Emma moved quietly behind them carrying empty glasses.
Then Daniel lifted his drink.
Emma suddenly noticed something.
Victoria had been standing near that exact glass only moments earlier.
Emma’s expression changed.
She stepped forward.
Sir.
Daniel turned.
Victoria looked annoyed.
What is it?
Emma stared at the champagne.
Please do not drink that.
The room slowly became quiet.
Daniel frowned.
Why?
Victoria stepped toward Emma.
Enough.
But Emma did not move.
She looked directly at Daniel.
Because I saw what she did to your glass.
