Daniel took a quick glance back at the limo that he had just got out of and then made his way up the red carpet of the Annual Meade Black & White Ball. It was his first trip back since he left New York almost six months earlier.

People were pointing. Paparazzi were snapping photos and screaming his name. It was the same route year after year. It was the same people almost every single year. This year, things were different though. No longer was he working for Meade….or the editor of MODE. Daniel was a new man. He was living life on his terms for the first time in his life.

"Well…Daniel Meade, what rock did you crawl out from underneath?" Suzuki stuck a microphone in Daniel's face. "That's quite a look you have there."

Daniel glanced down at his tuxedo. There was nothing special about what he was wearing. It was practically the same thing he wore to every Black &White Ball since he was 18 years old.

"Thanks…I think." Daniel moved on up the carpet to where his mother was standing with Tyler and Amanda. The closer he got the bigger his mother and Amanda's eyes got and the more that Tyler was trying to suppress his laughter.

"Daniel! Wow…it's really great to see you," said Amanda, with a look of amusement. "So…how's Betty?"

"Oh…she's great. She will be here soon." He glanced back down the red carpet. "Probably any minute."

"So…have you slept with her yet?" Amanda asked bluntly.

"Amanda…" Daniel shook his head and lifted his arm. There was no way that Daniel was going to tell Amanda anything about him and Betty. "Betty and I are just friends."

His mother's eyes caught the edge of his sleeve. There was something that was dangling from his cufflink.

_An earring. _

Claire lifted her hand to hand to her mouth and then moved closer. She freed the gleaming object.

"And what do we have here?" Claire held out the earring. "Looks like something from Tiffany's."

"Uh…" Daniel didn't know what to say. He knew that earring well. It was a certain present for a certain person's birthday.

"I think it goes well with the lipstick." Amanda burst out laughing. "

Just then, Betty walked up beside him. "Oh…you found my earring. I was looking all over for that. I was hands and knees in the limo looking for it."

"Sure you were." Amanda said seductively.

"At least, we know who the lipstick belongs to." Claire handed the earring back to Betty. Betty and Daniel looked at each other affectionately.

"I guess we are kind of busted." Betty blushed, as she put her earring back in place.

"Yeah…" Daniel chuckled.

"You two have some explaining to do," said Claire.

"And we will…" Daniel assured his mother.

Betty took Daniel's arm. "But right now, I need to find some place to get that lipstick off of Daniel's face."

"Oh…go all the way to the back of the center. There will be a door…follow that hallway all the way end. There you will find a nice dark room where you can finish where you left off," said Amanda. "Plenty of room and a nice comfy couch."

Daniel shook his head as he led Betty inside. He finally felt relaxed with her on his arm.

"So much for our little announcement tonight." Daniel chuckled, hold. "It seems our little encounter on the way here gave us away."

"I told you we should have the limo circled the block a few more times to pull ourselves together but you got out of the limo before I could tell you about the lipstick," said Betty. "I tried to stop you."

"Well, we have more surprises where that came from." He kissed her hand, just above the engagement ring on her left hand.

Betty blushed. "Where was that room that Amanda told us about?" She asked shyly.
