long hair cascade over my shoulders in loose waves, framing my face softly. For the first time in years, I was dressing for myself.

As night fell, Adrian waited by his car in the estate’s courtyard. When he saw me walking toward him, his eyes widened with genuine admiration.

“You look absolutely stunning,” he said, his voice filled with sincere appreciation. “That look suits you perfectly.”
