Arwen looked at herself in the mirror. She was dressed and styled perfectly, and ready to head for the evening. But there was still something missing. Something without which she had no plans of leaving.
Her gaze darted down to the black velvet box that was elegantly placed on her dresser.
She opened it, and the blue diamonds encased still didn't fail to dazzle her. Her eyes stayed on the classic piece, staring at it for a moment longer than needed.
She had gotten so engrossed in watching the design that she failed to notice Aiden enter the room.
He walked in only to pause in his steps. His heart skipped a beat when he saw how gracefully the gown had hugged Arwen's curves and figure. He hadn't gotten the chance to see her trying this yesterday.
If he had seen, he might not have been able to hold back. But today, he wouldn't dare to do anything that would make them late.
Clearing his throat, he announced his presence. "Ahem!"
