Nicholas looked from the corner of his eyes when Heidi busied herself in looking at the snowfall as if she had never seen one before. Her eyes were curious and tender, her lips parted slightly. She looked beautiful tonight, like an angel who had fallen from the sky during the snowfall and would disappear once the sun would rise up. Stanley had done a good job in helping her ready herself for the ball and he didn't know if he had raise his salary or reduce it for making her so alluring. She hadn't caught just his eye but most of them who had come across her.
When he reached for her hand, she didn't withdraw her hand and let him take it in his.
"This is a safe place," he tugged her hand gently and she followed him without any question, letting him whisk her away where he wanted to.
After taking a few more turns, Nicholas led her to a room before closing it shut.
