Brandon could hear hurried footsteps approaching the door, but he wasn't focused enough to discern who it was. Judging from the tempo and the clicking against the floor, he could tell it was a girl.
As the door swung open, Brandon looked up, a touch of surprise crossing his face as he beheld the figure before him. She stood tall, her radiant smile illuminating the room and drawing admiring glances from all who beheld her. Long, flowing locks cascaded down her back in waves of lustrous silk, framing a face of exquisite beauty. Her eyes, pools of captivating depth, sparkled with intelligence and warmth, reflecting the world around her with a mesmerizing allure. High cheekbones and a softly sculpted jawline accentuated her flawless features, while a delicate nose added a touch of grace to her visage.
