{CHIARA}
After spending my day lounging around the pool and getting to know Krista a little better, I stand in my room, staring at my reflection in the full-length mirror. I've never worn a gown like this. On second thought, I don't think I've ever worn a gown at all. I was too cool when it came to participating in school events and skipped out on my senior prom, robbing myself of a moment just like this.
I barely recognize myself.
The plunging neckline and high slit add just enough sex appeal while somehow keeping the overall look elegant and sophisticated. The perfect puppet for my Romanian mystery to parade on his arm. My hair is pulled up with a few loose curls framing my face, while also showing off just enough of
my back. I'm just finishing the final touches of my makeup when a knock sounds at my door. There's still an hour or so before we need to leave, and assuming it's Krista with something to eat, I call out over my shoulder. "Come in."
