Eleanor walked in with such grace..her gown was a baby girl
pink..it was gorgeous,but her face was hidden by her mask..And just that - the moment the woman walked in, all eyes were on her.
Her appearance, alluring.
Her gown, gorgeous.
And those emerald eyes, as piercing and enchanting as a blade..She walked with each step, and the way she did so was nothing short of captivating to all those who observe,but she had her emerald green eyes on one particular lady..Scarlett..
Was it so wrong for a woman to be in love with another?
Eleanor was,without a doubt, breathtaking. Scarlett had not seen her before, but her movements were enchanting and she was most certainly beautiful. There were many,many stares on her.
The way she walked over - and the way she approached Scarlett almost with a purpose, her eyes on her.
Scarlett's eyes widened as she was approached - why her?
Eleanor seemed confident in what she was doing - and Scarlett was mesmerized. Eleanor lifted her gloved hand up towards her..
"May I have this dance my lady?"
she asked smiling softly with a seductive look in her eyes behind her masquerade mask. Scarlett, for once, was speechless.
Was she truly being invited to dance? By someone as beautiful as her and
such a confidence?
The red-headed young lady found her mind going blank, and could only manage a small nod.
"Of - of course."
She replied, her voice soft and shaky.
But, she slowly extended out her hand to the lady.
The mysterious woman held her hand gently as she pulled her to the ballroom floor - everyone was staring at them. Either with disgust or shock. Scarlett's
hand shook softly as she was pulled to the floor. She kept her gaze to the ground, not wanting to see the reactions of the people surrounding them - even though it was clear that they were disgusted.
But nonetheless, she did not have the courage to look at them.
"What a scandal!" She heard one of them whisper from a distance, while others gave them a disgusted look.
"The nerve to invite her here! And that attire, how indecent."
Eleanor pulled her close as she danced with her
"I think you look beautiful."
she whispered into her ear gently only for her to hear.
Scarlett's face blushed at the touch of Eleanor. She had never been this close to another woman - her heartbeat was racing.
Her gaze slowly rose from the floor to the lady whom was holding her in her grasp.
"Y- you do not think my attire is inappropriate?" Her voice trembled as she spoke, her eyes looking at Madelynn.
"Everyone else seems to think so." She replied, giving her a small smile.
Eleanor let her hands slide down with to her waist with a mischievous smile
"I think it suits you quite well.."
