The night of the ball finally arrived, and Millie was beyond anxious. Daniel could see it in her every action.

He’d finished work at noon, and they’d enjoyed luncheon together.

Her ball gown had arrived Friday afternoon as Joe had promised, and it was beyond beautiful. Millie was a natural beauty, but this gown, it would bring out more of her magnificence. He knew it without even seeing it on her.

When she emerged from the bedroom in her new outfit, he swallowed hard. It was beyond all expectations. Joe had certainly outdone himself this time. The man was well-known for his amazing creations, and transforming women, young and old, into amazing works of art.

“You look...gorgeous,” he said, emotion evident in his voice. She stepped toward him, and he wanted to hold her and never let go, but they had to leave. Their carriage was outside waiting.

He helped Millie into her coat, and they were on their way.

He’d attended many of these functions, and found them beyond boring, but they were a necessary evil. Business owners from far and wide attended, and he made contacts he would otherwise miss out on.

He watched as Millie stepped out of the carriage and into the ballroom. Her naivety surrounded her, and her eyes opened wide at the sight before her.

He put his hand to her back, and a thrill went down his spine. He regretted having to remove it to check their coats in at the door.

The band were warming up, and he couldn’t wait to get out on the dance floor and show off his beautiful wife.

They took their seats, and it wasn’t long before the first course was served. Millie had been quiet, not joining many of the conversations. She was probably overwhelmed.

His biggest client had thankfully been seated on their table, and Mrs Davis, his wife, had taken Millie under her wing. The pair chatted quietly while the men talked business.

The moment Daniel had waited for arrived – the band began to play. They moved onto the dance floor, and all eyes turned to his beautiful wife.

They began with quite the gap between them, but as the music continued, she moved closer. So close in fact, he swore he could feel her heartbeat against his chest. Until finally, her head rested against him, her eyes gently closed.

It felt...intimate. In fact he could honestly say it was the most intimate they’d been since their marriage, and he couldn’t say he regretted one moment of it.

The music stopped and she stayed right where she was. He didn’t want to move, and apparently, neither did she.

His fingers lifted her chin and she stared up at him. Her eyes glistened and he wondered what was going through her mind. Without thinking, he leaned in and kissed her lips, giving no thought to anyone else or their surroundings.

Daniel didn’t want this night to end, and would make the most of each and every dance.

The music began again, and they stayed out on the dance floor. “I’m falling in love with you,” he said softly, so only Millie could hear.
