Caution's Gala Launch Party

​"Welcome! Betty Bliss here, coming to you live from the top of the Lewiston Marriott Plaza, overlooking the beautiful St. Clair River. I'm at the much anticipated launch party for the sexy contemporary romance, Caution: Filling is Hot. The energy in this ballroom tonight is palpable. Oh, I see the stars of Caution: Filling is Hot are making their way through the room. I'm off to intercept them before they're pulled away again."

BB:  "Piper Frost! Piper, don't you look lovely. Can you tell me who you're wearing tonight?"

PF:  "Betty, hello. Thank you. You look wonderful, yourself. I'm wearing Donna Karan."

BB:  “Classic black formal gown—exquisite. And don't you look dapper, Chad. Armani?"

CT:  Laughs.  "Why, yes. Good eye."

PF:  With a sidelong glance, but pride in her voice. "Chad's turning a few heads here tonight."

CT:  He gives her a devilish wink. "So is Piper."

BB:  "You look stunning together. I can see you're inundated by well-wishers, but I know my fans are wondering how you'll be spending tomorrow?"

Chad and Piper look at each other, obviously unprepared.

CT:  "Well, I think we'll be spending time with the kids. Trying to be low-key. You know how it is. You want to keep things normal for children."

BB:  "Of course. Are they here with you now?"

PF:  "Actually, they're with my parents tonight."

BB:  "Oh, how nice. And Chad, is your mother, Alice, here?"

Chad turns and nods toward the champagne fountain with a grin.  "We hired a driver for her tonight."

BB:  Laughs. "I see she's waving me over, and you're about to be pulled away. Why don't we wrap this up for now and I'll let you get back to your other guests? I'm so pleased for you both. Good luck tomorrow."

CT:  Leans in and kisses Betty on the cheek then whispers with a playful smile. "You know, Mom's driver can always take you home, too."

BB:  "Chad, you could lead a woman into temptation."

PF:       Laughing and nodding. "Now you understand how hard he made it for me."

BB:       "I do, Piper. I understand perfectly. Go—enjoy yourselves."

PF:       "Thanks. You too."

BB:  "This is Betty Bliss for Coming Attractions, signing off. Be sure to tune in tomorrow for all the details and highlights of this wonderful celebration. You won't want to miss it. Good night."
