Elisa had really outdone herself, I thought, running my fingers across the smooth fabric of the silver cocktail dress lying across my bed. I slipped off my tank top and jeans and slid the dress over my head. Its cool, silky material caressed my body as it settled around me. I couldn’t help but admire my image in the mirror. The plunging neckline and dangerously low back were adorned with small silver crystals, safely secured at the waist by a tight sash. The skirt of the dress flowed boldly outwards in a flurry of sleek waves, ending halfway down my thigh. Though daring, the short gown was utterly classy. I had to admit that despite, or perhaps in lieu of, being over three hundred years old, Elisa had a great eye for fashion.

The bright silver dress and its sparkling embellishments were so dazzling, the outfit required very little jewelry. Elisa had laid out a small pair of diamond earrings and a matching tennis bracelet next to the dress, so I put both on. I pulled my hair back into a messy bun, fastening the loose waves that spilled out with a thin crystal headband. I was pleased at the result, reveling in the air of maturity and sophistication that the sleeked-back hair produced.

I groaned slightly as my gaze fell on the strappy, metallic shoes Elisa placed next to the bed. The thin, sharp heels stood at least six inches high. I sighed, wiggling my feet into them, cursing the dress for not being long enough to hide my combat boots. Just for a couple of hours, I promised myself as I set out for the party.

I spotted Sebastian before he saw me. He was standing by the foot of the stairs, looking off toward the spacious dining area which had been masterfully converted into a grand ballroom. Elisa had outfitted him in a light gray tux, complete with a matching vest and a sleek white dress shirt. His dark curls were combed back elegantly; the style made him appear as if he belonged in another era.

He turned toward me as I reached the last step, his eyes widening as he took me in. The shade of his suit picked up the gray in his eyes, making them appear brighter and even more enthralling than usual.

“You look beautiful,” he said in a voice barely above a whisper.

He’s being pleasant again, I thought, still keeping up my guard.

“Thank you. You look nice as well.” I responded politely. It was a lie. He didn’t look nice. He looked great. Magnificent, even, but I wasn’t going to tell him that. I did, however, resolve to put the frustration from the car ride behind me in an attempt to enjoy the evening.

I was wearing six-inch heels, after all. Anything was possible.

We stood frozen in place, unsure what to do next.

“Shall we dance?” Sebastian finally asked, extending his hand out to me.

I glanced down uncomfortably. “No, thank you.”

He retracted his arm, looking a little hurt.

“I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to be rude.
