(Third-person POV)
Sandy started making her way through the room, brushing past people rudely in her efforts to reach the table with the mysterious woman. She needed to see her face. She needed to quiet that nagging voice in the back of her mind wondering, Could it really be Julia?
Before she could get to the far side of the room, Sandy was surprised to see Ronan stalking through the ball room. He moved quickly to the table with the mystery woman, who really did look like Julia from the back, and put his arms under her.
Ronan scooped the woman into his arms, holding her like a groom would carry his bride over the threshold, and began making his way to the other side of the room. While this move looked playful, Sandy was surprised to see a worried expression on Ronan’s face.
