Mentioning a special surprise
I stated in passing that they were going to get a wonderful surprise around halfway through my address. “But,” I continued with a lighthearted smile, “we’ll need to be a bit patient.” Lauren’s eyes widened as she gave me a questioning look. Whispers started to circulate among the visitors as a result of the brief reference, which aroused attention across the room.

Lauren’s attitude slowly changed from one of delight to mild perplexity as I went on talking. As she attempted to interpret what I had said, her grin briefly wavered. I saw everyone in the room looking at one another in confusion, obviously unsure of the meaning of this sudden pronouncement. I had hinted at a surprise, and it was obvious that everyone was interested.
