I twirl around happily in my new dress. It goes down to my knees and the bottom is really fluffy. It has long sleeves and it is pure white with the bottom inside layers being a pitch black to match the leggings I am wearing. After doing one more final twirl I bounce excitedly with a smile on my face. With this I head out the door to see the one I love most waiting for me.

"Are you ready to go madam? You look lovely tonight as you always do," Camus says to me in his usual gentleman voice. Happily I accept his hand as he leads me towards and into the sleigh he has prepared for us. Once we settle in and before we start heading towards our destination Camus turns towards me with that sweet smile of his and drapes something onto my shoulders.

"Even though you're wearing a long sleeve the Permafrost air gets more cold at night. I would hate to see you catch something due to it," he says to me sweetly while tying the shawl together for me. I politely thank him with a slight blush dusting my cheeks. Camus then grabs the reins from the sleigh and off we go to start our first date together. I smile the whole way as I look at the crystallized snowy town.

Someone would have to be a fool not to love Camus. He is the perfect gentleman afterall. And after mustering up all my courage I was able to ask him out on this date. Though he was the one who wanted to plan and arrange it. Not only that but some people who are close to Camus told me to be wary about him.

Also that there is another side to him that I never see? I shake off the thoughts from previous conversations as it is probably not as bad as their expressions look. I mean Camus is a gentleman afterall so it truly can't be bad at all. Camus stops the sleigh and gets out. He comes over to my side and helps me down onto the pathway leading down into a forest it seems.

Once I'm down he offers me his arm with that smile on his face. Happily I accept it and off we go down the path surrounded by leafless trees that seem frozen by the touch.

"Are we going towards a certain place?" I ask curiously towards him.

"You'll have to wait patiently miss. I don't want to spoil anything for you now," Camus says to me not planning on revealing anything. I look down the path in anticipation to see what will come before us. Suddenly we come to this tree opening. I feel something lightly cover my eyes as I'm lead through.

When I am able to see again I'm face to face with Camus. I get lost in his icy blue eyes and his soft smile that I accidently lose balance. Luckily though Camus grabs my waist and brings me closer to him before I embarrass myself. I kinda hold onto him tightly but all he does is give me a sorta strained smile. This makes me stare a bit blankly at him, especially since I know my grip on him isn't that tight.

"Miss you'll have to be more careful. It would be bad if you hurt yourself on the ice," Camus says to me which stops me from looking at him, but to my surroundings. We are still surrounded by trees but underneath and around us is a lake covered in ice. We are standing in the center of it with both of us wearing ice skates. I look back up towards him and I thought I saw his face go from a stotic expression to this gentle one he presents me now.

Before I can question it I can feel us starting to move and glide across the ice. This makes me forget about it but I feel like now is the time to take these warnings people gave me into consideration.

After we skate around for a bit and go off the ice with smiles on our faces. We decide to take a rest in a dry spot looking towards the lake. We both sit on a log that I think would work, though he insisted that we go inside somewhere or back to the sleigh. I was able to convince him otherwise though since I still wanted to be connected to the iced lake. I sigh happily to myself as I stare at the lake.

Ever so quietly I hear beside me, "Only peasants would want to do something unsophisticated like this."

After I hear this I turn my head over to Camus thinking that I heard the words wrong. Though once I looked at him he had his arms folded and gave me a stern expression. I jump a little at the intense stare then look away shifting a little scared. I've only ever known him as a gentleman. I never once saw or heard him like this before.

I feel him move closer to me so I turn my back slightly to him so I can try to figure out my feelings. I feel a arm go around to the side of my waist and suddenly pull me into them so we are side by side. This makes me turn my head so I'm looking back at Camus. He wears the same expression but his grip on me is secure enough, so I know that he will never let go until he decides to. As he looks down upon me I start feeling a bit nervous.

"You were brave by me earlier, but when you see my true self you quiver. It's your fault for not paying your full attention on the person you love," Camus says to me bluntly which makes me feel a pierce in my heart. Like he said, if I truly loved him, wouldn't I of noticed and know this side of him already? Instead I fell in love with a fake personality all along. I look at the ground and feel my body shake a little bit.

A moment later I feel a hand come up to my cheek and wipe it with a handkerchief. This action makes me look up and back towards Camus. He has that sweet smile place back on his lips.

"Madam, you shouldn't cry over a simple mistake like that," he says to me but continues with that facade now gone which makes me want to turn away from his words, but his grip on my waist keeps me in place as he speaks, "I've should've shown myself like this to you when you started becoming closer towards me. It's my fault for deceiving you like this."

My eyes widen as I hear his words. I wasn't expecting it but I reply back to his words, "You don't have to say something like that! It's my fault for never noticing it! I'm sorry Camus!"

I stand up and bow my body towards him.

"Fool, if someone admits their mistakes then you should just accept it," Camus replies to my words in a way that I'm instantly getting used to. Since he said something like that. Does that mean that he also forgives me of my mistake? I stand back up feeling light hearted at that fact. I must've had a smile on my face since he speaks again, "Why are you smiling like that? There's nothing to be happy about."

I smile bigger and go up and give Camus a big hug. This sets him off and I now expect a insult or something when I release him but right now I say to him, "Camus, I love you. Even now it's almost as if I feel in love with you all over again. I'm now happy to know your true self. I love both sides of you."

After I finished speaking I stayed in the hug a bit longer. When I decided to release him and started letting go and standing up again a pair of arms wraps themselves around me and forces me back into the hug. It takes me a moment to register it but I hug back. Thinking about how the date has gone I smile brightly to myself. To me Camus is like a swan.

He's beautiful and elegant just like them. Just like how someone can be in awe at a swan they can act the same way with Camus. And the more you know about him the more you'll be in awe.

"Camus, I want to go on another date of that's alright," I say outloud to him. I don't ever want to disappear from my White Swan's side.
