  The butler lead me back to the guest room, where there was a beautiful dress neatly laid out on the bed. The under part of it was pure white and swooped up into flowing sleeves. The outer layer was buttoned up the front middle and split at the waist at a sash. The hems were trimmed with lace and indigo embroidered roses. The best part of it all was the outer layer was a gorgeous silvery-blue.

My eyes widened as I looked up at the butler. It was the most beautiful dress I'd ever seen.

"Will this be sufficient?" Sebastian asked me.

"Yes," I replied, daintily picking up the edges to examine it closer. "It's perfect."

"I thought such a gorgeous, peaceful color would suit a lady like you," he told me, lightly brushing the material with his gloved hand. "This blue is an entirely different color on its own. Blue is royal but sorrowful. Silver is pure but dull. But, this is a color to suit the most beautiful and kind of hearts."

I was stunned by his words. Did he honestly come up with something like that on the spot? Why was my heart racing? How on earth did he find time to compose a dress like that? Wait. How did he even get my measurements!?
