Zachary Hemsworth realized his own emotions, fell silent for a few seconds, then slowly said:

Inside, figures moved in a hazy, shifting crowd.
She paused for a moment outside the doors, subtly shifting the weight on her high-heeled feet, then finally straightened her back and stepped through the entrance of the banquet hall.
