Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny ( Quintessa and Tyrone ) novel Chapter 152

Backstage, Violet was a bundle of nerves as she tried to soothe Quintessa. "Don't be jittery, Quinn. Once you're out there, just flash that gorgeous smile of yours. Be confident in your looks; you’re stunning. I've briefed you on the possible questions the press might ask, just stick to our script."

Quintessa glanced at her reflection, her red lips curling into a smile. "What's there to be nervous about? I've waited so long for this moment, and it's finally here. I'm more excited than anything. You, on the other hand, might want to dab that sweat off your forehead."

With a start, Violet touched her forehead and found it drenched. "I guess I'm just sweating bullets for you. You've never faced the press formally before, and here you are, about to dive into the deep end. And I can't be up there with you."

Quintessa gave her a serious look. "When have you ever known me to be scared?"

Violet shook her head; having known Quinn for two years, she'd come to realize that there was a vitality in her, an indomitable spirit that seemed to rise even stronger when faced with adversity.

There was a knock at the door and an urgent voice followed: "Ms. Young, it's showtime."

Quintessa stood up, and with a nod to Violet, she said, "Here goes nothing."

Violet swallowed hard, "I should be the one saying that to you."

Manny piped up quickly, "Go get 'em, Quinn. You're gonna kill it."

With a smile and a lift of her elegant dress, Quintessa stepped out.

With her head held high, and chest puffed out, Quinn walked onto what was to become her battlefield.

Her journey was truly beginning at this moment.
