“Hurry up you two!” Dante called from downstairs. “Our guests should be arriving any minute now. You need to be down here to greet them!”

“We are coming!” I yelled as I slipped my last earring on. “You look hot!” I told Violet as I stood up and straightened out my dress.

She was wearing a little black cocktail dress she had made earlier this week. It was haltered around her neck with an open back, hugging her tiny figure in all the right places. It was the perfect fit for her and made from the shiniest satin material I had ever seen. I knew she had to have paid a pretty penny for the material. Her long blonde hair was down and in light curls. She was definitely trying to catch the eye of someone tonight.

“Well thank you. You don’t look so bad yourself, always having to stand out.” She laughed.

“Hey now, you’re the one who picked out the material and made my dress,” I said as I smiled back at her.

I don’t know how she managed to keep mine a secret from me or even find the time to make it, but she had. I could not even begin to express how thrilled I was when she finally let me unzip the bag she had been holding my dress hostage in.

“Yes I am,” she said in the best rich accent she could muster up. “And I must say you look ravishing darling just ravishing.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at her terrible attempt at an accent. I had to admit though I did look really good. My dress was beautiful and made of red satin. It was a one shoulder wrap dress, which flowed to the top of my knee. My hair was pulled up in a high bun. I wanted to show off the dress as much as possible.

Violet always did an amazing job at making dresses for me. She had an undying talent for fashion. Especially when it came to short, close knit, hug your body dresses. Maybe one day we could make a transition over to fashion, she would love that.

“Liliana,” Emilio called this time, “downstairs now!”

Violet and I took one more look at each other. We both smiled in approval before we headed out the door. Dante’s face lit up as Violet walked down the stairs. He was in total awe of her. The moment their eyes met was magical. It was such a beautiful private moment, and I was lucky enough to witness it.

I had been so busy watching Dante and Violet, I hadn’t even seen Emilio walk up beside me. “You look… amazing,” he stuttered before twirling me around and bringing me in close.

“Thank you.” I smiled at him. “Violet made my dress.”

“Violet, I have to say you did an amazing job.”

“Thank you Emilio, I try.”

A knock came at the door by then, and I realized it was already time for the guests to be arriving. We greeted each one and guided them into the living room for cocktails.
