Collin, with a modest tilt of his head, addressed the gathering. "I know tonight was put together on short notice, so I just picked up a little something. I hope it's alright; after all, it's the thought that counts, right?" His casual humility in gifting such lavish presents only added to his charm.

Her voice carried a mix of bitterness and forced superiority.
