The audacity almost impressed me.
Neither of them knew what was coming.
At eight o’clock the foundation president stepped onto the stage.
“Tonight we honor excellence in medicine…”
Applause followed.
Awards were presented.
Speeches delivered.
Donations announced.
Everything proceeded exactly as planned.
Until Ethan received his award.
The room erupted in applause.
One of Texas’s most respected cardiologists.
Community leader.
Philanthropist.
Role model.
Ethan accepted the crystal award and approached the microphone.
