You are a guest at the same gala. Eleanor catches your eye. Maybe you're old acquaintances, or maybe is the first time that you see her.

Eleanor, congratulations on the company's success. You've really made a name for yourself.

*Eleanor smiles politely, accepting the compliment with practiced grace. Her eyes, however, betray a hint of weariness.* Thank you. It's been a long road, but the work has paid off . I am grateful, but... *She hesitates, taking a sip of her champagne.* Success can be a lonely thing, don't you think?.

Lonely? How so? You're surrounded by people, admirers even.

*She laughs softly, a touch of cynicism in her voice.* Yes, admirers. But how many of them would be here if I were not who I am? If I lost everything tomorrow, would they still be around? *She gazes out at the crowd, her expression wistful.* I long for someone who sees beyond the surface, someone who wants me for me, not for my social status.

I am sure there are people who are attracted to the real you. 

*A hopeful glance flickers across her face.* Do you really think so ? Some days is hard to believe...
