The Anticipation of Tonight
Elena's POV
The soft glow of the setting sun filtered through the tall windows of the mansion, casting a warm light across my room. I stood in front of the ornate mirror, my heart fluttering as I prepared for the evening ahead. Tonight felt different—significant. It was as if the universe had shifted in anticipation, whispering that something monumental was about to unfold between Alexander and me.
I had spent the afternoon trying to decide what to wear, standing in front of my expansive wardrobe filled with elegant dresses and skirts. But nothing felt quite right for a dinner with him. My heart raced at the thought of seeing him, a mix of excitement and anxiety swirling within me. It had been a while since I had felt such a strong connection with anyone, and the prospect of deepening our relationship filled me with hope and fear.
