The event finally kicked into full swing, and much to Liam's surprise… he actually found it fun.
He had assumed it would be dull—filled with forced smiles, fake conversations, and endless photos—but the energy in the room was different.

The stage was long and sleek, with light strips bordering the runway. Each pair of partners—male and female—were being called up to take glamour shots together. After their photos, their images were immediately uploaded online, where people were already voting in real time. Laptops and devices set up in corners displayed live updates. Voters could score them based on presence, chemistry, and fashion coordination.
