[LENA]
I looked... normal.
The dresses I had worn in the past were heavy with multiple layers of different fabrics, but this dress felt airy and comfortable, much like the men's shirts I'd been wearing for the past few days, but more decent.
Wearing men's clothes made me look like a boy or a tiny man, but this plain gray linen dress made me look normal. Like a village waif. A commoner.
I loved it.
Taking care not to fall over the lake where I was checking out my reflection, I leaned a bit more forward and adjusted my sleeves. Satisfied, I left the bank and called out to Luca. "I'm done. You can look now," I said shyly.
Luca turned around. His eyes lit up and a broad smile broke on his face. He didn't say anything as he walked towards me, his eyes traveling all over me, making me feel self-conscious and pleased at the same time.
He took a deep breath. "You look amazing."
"Do I look like a woman now?"
