Devon tried to comfort Kayla after she tripped on the stage during the awards assembly. "It was nothing." he reassured
her. "People barely noticed."
His words didn't help. Kayla replayed the inelegant scene in
her mind. As she had walked across the stage, she had felt
her heel wobble slightly, sending her swaying back and
forth. Then her foot had given out completely, and the
auditorium had echoed as she hit the ground. After a few
seconds, giggles from the audience had broken the
silence, Kayla had been mortified, and her face had
remained flushed as she grabbed her award and ran back
to her chair
"I'm dying of embarrassment," she whispered in Devon's
ear. 'My life is ruined."
