A Rendezvous

It was a silent night.

Everything seemed so lethargic yet an uncertain amount of anticipation existed. Lights flickered gorgeously provoking the nocturnal creatures to croak joyfully. The servants had disappeared into their rooms, some getting ready for the occasion and the others setting up various things to perfect the upcoming evening. Cars were arriving, all eager faces.

 ***

Engrossed in herself, looking at her reflection, that seemed more or less like a petite sylph under the pale moonlight, seeping through the window; adrenalin rushed through her body, her heart beat at a super sonic speed, increasing her pulse rate and causing her cheeks to flush with a red colour, so beautiful for the evening.

Since twilight, every time she glanced at herself in the mirror she could not bear thinking that these would be her last moments of a kind... But it still excited her, didn't it?

Yet the feeling of being lost and confusion did not sink.

It was time, though.

She walked out of her room, all decked up in shimmery, elegant white, conscious of her every step, towards the most life changing decision she had ever made: towards her life, her sole reason for existence, her light of the day, that one charming thing she was making her way towards. Taking each step down on the staircase, house of memories flooded her mind.

There he was.

Looking up at her from beneath the staircase, with that spark in his eyes: that spark which held her back when required, the spark that assured her that this was one decision she would never regret.

This was going to be one enchanted evening. An evening of tying knots, making oaths, gifting sweet flowers and opening a bottle of champagne!
