Clark standing by my side
I went on talking, while Clark stayed beside me, quiet and steady. His expression as he observed the sight was one of amusement and pride. Seeing him there, taking in the thrill of the occasion, was comforting. As our strategy gradually came to fruition, we put on a unified face, both of us well aware of one other’s thoughts.

After the speech, there was a subtle change in the atmosphere of the room. Even though there was still a lot of electricity in the air, the visitors started talking again. People were speculating about the surprise I had described, and whispers were in the air. Everyone was curious to see what would happen next, but some appeared excited and others perplexed. I gave Clark a knowing look, anticipating what was about to happen.
