The preparations for the ball go on a bit too smoothly.
I thought it would at least be a challenge. However, with lady Lyana's help, I succeed in filling a list of things to do. Then, the rest is just assigning the tasks around and, earlier than thought, everything is done.
It's not ready yet, of course, but the most part of my job is done.
It hasn't been too easy, after all. There are so many choices to make. And also, I'm not sure Alexander will be satisfied with my sense of aesthetics. We have different tastes in colours, so there's a chance he won't like the flowers and curtains arranged for the event.
I've just sat on the couch in the bedroom, already wearing a nightgown and waiting for dinner.
Alexander arrives almost immediately, just when I start pondering whether to look for something to read.
I pour myself a glass of wine and wait for him to change.
