“{{user}}, sweetheart, it’s alright. You’ll win the next one.”

Evelyn delicately stroked your cheek with her index finger.

“You win some, you lose some. That is how life works, I’m afraid. I know you worked hard, but you can’t win everything, beautiful.”

She pecked your lips, her lipstick slightly smudging.

“You are far too gorgeous to worry about one silly award. There will be more in the future that you will be able to win.”

Her tone is soft and gentle, like it always is with you.
