"So we have these two dresses." her stylist told her and Em was staring the two amazing clothes on the hangers. A deep blue one, and a light blue one. "I know you wanted red, but..."
"I know. Rose Leslie is going to wear a red one. And as I guessed you don't want us to ... be on the red carpet in the same color" Em answered.
"You are the main star of the show. So I have to pay attention to these things." she smiled at her. "If you can't wear red... then I thought you'll be the ice from Ice and Fire tonight." her stylist answered. "I hope you..."
"It is an amazing idea." she smiled at her and caressed his arm.
"Is there anything wrong?" she frowned.
"No," Em answered, "Nothing. Really. I am just. I ... "
"You don't wanna go." she lowered her head. "But this is the last time. Last premier. Think about it."
"Yeah." Emilia nodded and stepped closer to the dresses. Her eyes caught in one of those. She was staring at it and smiled. "This one." 
"I thought you'll choose the other." 
"Yeah that is more my style, but I love this message. I want this." She was holding the light blue-grey Valentino dress in her hand. 
"I've told ya" Jenny, her hairstylist mentioned, "And I have an amazing idea for your hair."
They already started to discuss their ideas, about her look, but Em was still staring at the text, on the dress. "Leave your door open for me I might sleepwalk into your dreams" It was perfect. A bit shady. A bit ... loud... meanwhile it was just a dress. 
"Can we start?" Katie disturbs her in her thoughts.
"Yeah. Turn me into an Ice Queen." Em tried to make a joke about her look, but her mind was still around Kit... and Rose. And everything that they discussed earlier that day. She just hoped it was a good idea... agree to do it. She has to consider it with Michael too, but not today. That day was already too much, and she still had no idea where is Kit. She checked her phone before she sat down to the chair. "I am alive, and okay. Do not worry about me. I love you."  at least he sent a message. That was more than that he usually does. Still... she wanted to see him. See his face... his condition. 

-----------------------------------------

"You look amazing!" Jenny told her, and she was staring herself in the mirror. Her eyes were drowsy but the makeup covered it quite well. 
"You did miracle again," Emilia told them and smiled. She read the sentence on her dress again. "Leave your door open for me I might sleepwalk into your dreams" she wondered how many will recognize it. The girls were chatting and doing the last finishing touches on her look. 
"You're gonna late," Katie stated and looked at her watch.
"It doesn't matter. The later I arrive the fewer reporters I will meet." Emilia sighed, and adjusted her skirt. A knock disturbed them. She frowned but then she walked to the door and opened it. The words stuck on her throat.
"You look amazing." Kit stated. He was standing there, ready to leave to the premier. He looked good on a suit. He always looks amazing in suits. "Though the color choice is strange from you." he continued and tried to smile.
"Well, someone else wear red tonight." she sighed.
"Yeah, I saw her leaving not too long ago." he nodded. 
"Great." Em wanted to ask him ... where did he spend the night? What did he do? But it was not the right time, they were not alone. "What are you doing here?" 
"I wanted to ... talk with you before it started." Kit lowered his head.
"Not really... perfect timing." Em glanced back over her shoulder. Kit spotted the girls inside and nodded. "Maybe after the premier and the party. If... you..."
"I have to go to the studio. Do the shootings." Kit told her. 
"Shootings?" Em frowned.
"Yeah, the show will be tomorrow, and you know there are some scenes that we have to record. And they want to surprise the audience, so... I can't appear at the premier without the beard." He touched his facial hair. 
"No" it was a so natural reaction from her. She hated it when he is clean shaved.
"It grows back quickly." He smiled. 
"Darling." Katie disturbed them. "Hi Kit. I haven't seen you for a while." she leaned closer to him, and gave kisses to his face. "We should go. We're gonna late." she checked her watch again.
"Go. Meet there." Em nodded, and all the girls walked out of the room. They were staring at them cautiously, while they walking passed by them. 
"We should go too," Em stated when the lift door closed after her beauty team.
"Can I come in?"
"We're gonna late."
"Just a minute." he was looking into her eyes. She nodded and stepped away from the door, to let him inside.
