She was so beautiful he couldn't keep his eyes from her. She blushed seeing him looking like that and that Anna was grinning from ear to ear didn't help either. Finally he clearing his throat frowning his eyebrows firs looking thowards Anna who was pretending not to listen and acted as if she was writing in her guesst book he then turned his gaze thowards the beauty before him and locked his eyes with her. "You look lovely" he wanted to say so much more she looked otherwordly but in presence of Anna he thought this would be the most appropriate thing to say and that compliment was enough to make her smile even more.
"You look so gorgeous Victoria, this color suits you so well" Anna closed the book and came by her side admiring the look of her. "Thank you Anna you look beautiful as wel" she smiled friendly looking at Anna in her amber color dress.
"Is everyone ready" Frank came in he had arranged a cariage for them. He looked at the two of them starring at each other like that and walked over to his wife "What is going on?" He asked her not understanding why they where starring like that to eacht other.
"They are falling in love with each other all over again" Anna exclaimed happily. It was sweet seeing them like this. Eleanor wanted so much for it to be true, that he would fall in love with her. Then she thought don't be ungrateful Eleanor, we've come a long way from only having intercourse to getting married that was a big difference and he cared for her that was so much more than feeling nothing at all so she was thankful for that.
Frank cleared his throat "You can look at each other as long as you want later, we're going to be late, everyone is already there" he couldn't hide the smile under his moustage when he walked out. Sweeney and Eleanor both cleared their throats and followed him. Anna laughed shaking her head after them as she was the one who closed the door.

After the carriage ride they entered the ballroom. "Don't be shy it's good to get to know new people" Anna spoke to them as they stood next to each other among the crowd. The woman didn't know they were concerned that at any moment someone could recognize them. Sweeney nervously scanned people with his eyes it was not a good idea to be among all these people and then he looked at the woman he was doing this all for it was all for her he thought.
Standing there waching people dance and chatter Eleanor took a glass from a servant passing by and downed it fairly quickly in two gulps. Anna squeezed Sweeney's arm he looked at her and she pointed the dance floor with her eyes as if she was indicating him to ask Eleanor for a dance. He knew she wanted to dance but why was this so hard to ask, he wasn't really a person who loved to be in crowded places even if they did this before. She glanced at him while he wasn't looking and sighed, knowing he wouldn't even attempt to ask her to dance.
"Shall I have the pleasure?" To Eleanor's disappointment and much to Sweeney's dismay a young man who looked around 25 years old approached her holding his hand out for a dance.
"Go away kid she's with me" He tensed instantly as if it wasn't enough that another man asked her to dance, he was a young dude on top of it. He looked like he could commit a murder and that scared her. She took hold of his wrist to calm him down and it had a positieve effect on him. He then looked at Anna who looked at him with a 'I told you' look while Eleanor smirked after the boy walked away actualy she founded now rather funny him being so jealous and it flattered her that a young men showed interest in her while the man beside her didn't. As the servant passed by she placed her empty glas and took a full one drowning the champagne in one gulp down.
"Slow down" he whispers, it had been a while she had drunk liquor like this he was scared she would react badly to it. She rolled her eyes at him, the man could kill people like nothing and when it came to ask the woman he would marry to dance there was nothing..
