꧁🥀✻☘✻☘🌷꧂Chapter 7

That I want to draw,
a canvas dream

You and Sarah were dead nervous, waiting for Byron to show up and pick you up. You'd told your folks that you'd spend your time off in Sheffield with Sarah. They were cool with it and hoped you'd have a blast away from the twins. It might perk you up and let you chill away from home.

Suddenly, there's a knock at the flat door. Sarah answers it. She's dolled up in a stunning summer cocktail dress fit for a queen. You're decked out in a Japanese floral-themed cocktail dress. But, truth be told, you're feeling too warm for a full-on traditional getup. Your hair's styled sleek and straight. It feels a bit odd dressing up like this.

""Blimey, my girls look proper posh... Come on, let's get moving. Can't keep my lady Beatrice waiting," Byron eyed you up and down, waggling his eyebrows.

"I'm proper nervous... By the way, Byron?" You shudder at the idea of meeting royalty.

"I'm gonna snap some pics... no one's gonna believe I went to the Duchess's fancy place... I need some boasting material," Sarah chirped happily.

"Just make sure you're not caught, keep it low-key," Byron cautioned.

"How long's this bash gonna go on for?" You inquire.

""Two hours tops... if you're feeling too out of sorts, I'll ask Lady Beatrice to arrange for a driver to get you home... I'll just say you're still on the clock. They take work seriously there. Stick together, alright? And Sarah, please mind your manners," Byron suggests.

Sarah clicks her tongue and raises her chin in a haughty and proud manner, "I'll behave like royalty..."

You all chuckle and hop into the car, heading towards the outskirts of London.

As you reach the gate, Byron presents the three invitations to the guard. You let out a sigh of relief as the gates swing open. Driving through, you see beautifully landscaped gardens with various water features scattered throughout the estate.
