It's only eleven o'clock, but I head into the walk-in closet, curiosity finally getting the better of me. I want to see the dresses Dmitri picked out. For me. For this occasion.

I open the cupboard, five dresses and five pairs of shoes neatly beside each other. Off the bat, the first thing I notice is no bling. There is not a sequin or glittering anything in sight. Thank the pope. I'm not too fond of bling things. Anything that brings unnecessary attention to me is a no-go. I give Dmitri a mental pat on the back. The second thing I notice is that none of these dresses are poofy at the bottom. Dmitri, so far, is winning in my books.

Excited, I pull the first one out. It's a gorgeous floor-length dark navy-blue satin dress. It has a lace bodice separated by a three-inch band of satin circling the waist before the dress peters off in waves down to the floor. The two-inch straps narrow down the chest, meeting at a V when it reaches the band. It was nice, but I wasn't sure if I had the cleavage for this dress. My bust size was on the smaller side of a C.

I put the dress back, pulling out the second one. I immediately don't like it. The color, design, and material are all perfect, but it has a sweetheart neckline. Something I vehemently detest, so this goes back in without another look. He tried, I think, chuckling to myself. He would never have known.

Dress number three is not as good as dress number one but still a contender. A wine-red halter neck dress, the back floor length while the front tapered up into a U shape. A mixture of satin underneath and lace on the top. The bodice wrapped over, pushing cleavage up and together. I wasn't sure about that, hence leaving it second on my list.

Dress number four, I don't really know. I would have to try it on to give an opinion. It is a black floor-length dress with a plunging neckline and two thin straps. The material is thin and figure-hugging, with two slits on the sides reaching mid-thigh. It comes with elegant black gloves that reach just above the elbow. Seems very 1940s vibe. I don't think underwear is an option with this one. It is very sexy, very something-I-don't-usually-wear-but-might-consider.

Dress number five is my favorite and suits my style to a T. It is a white bodice dress that reaches just above the knees and is covered in a white lace that reaches the floor and forms the sleeves. It strikes me as a dress I might consider getting married in. It's so beautiful. It's like a bohemian wedding dress.

Not bad on Dmitri's part, considering we've only known each other for a couple of days. He is very observant, which makes me wonder what else he sees about me besides my dress style.

My mind wanders to Elanor and what she is like compared to myself. I shove those thoughts aside as jealousy bubbles to the surface. I don't want that feeling to tarnish the present moment.

I head back to the lounge, plopping down on the sofa. That little event only crushed just under an hour of my time. Hungry, possibly due to boredom, I call room service and order whatever vegetarian option they have on the menu. The room service clerk asks me if there is anything specifically that I would like, even if it is not on the menu, stating that as guests of honor, we can have whatever we want. The guy on the other side of the line, who sounds like he has a colossal carrot up his arse, went into a coughing fit when I asked for a vegetarian pizza. From the snacks served last night, I'm guessing this place is not accustomed to churning out something as mundane as pizza.
