You're very beautiful," Kate complimented with a genuine smile. "And Dr Rosse… he has good taste, but he also listens. Most guys would have gone for something flashy, but this… " she gestured to the gown, "this is elegant."
Lauren smiled at her reflection and a quiet warmth bloomed in her chest.
The gown was indeed perfect for her. It struck a balance between classy and sophisticated while still feeling youthful and fun.
It was as though Steffan had seen a side of her she didn't even know she wanted to show.
A knock on the door brought them back to reality. Steffan had arrived, and from the glimpse Lauren caught through the window, he looked as dashing as ever in a crisp black suit.
Her heart did a little flip when she realized how much effort he had put into making her feel special tonight.
