Chapter 73 Weird Times

Kara A knock sounded on the door at exactly two seconds past nine. I started touching up the makeup on my face. My hair was pulled up into a bun. The blush on my cheeks gave a fine contrast to the strapless black gown, making it stand out even more. "He's already here," I muttered under my breath, feeling the rush in my heartbeat like some hopeless high school girl going to her first prom, I thought. I knew I didn't have it in me to be truly angry at myself. Mira stepped back from me, fixing the zipper behind my gown. "Thank you," I said, rubbing my sweaty palms against my dress. Mira laughed. "So, you seriously have nerves now? Of all times..." "Shut up," I snapped at her. I didn't need any other reason for my cheeks to get redder. The doorbell rang again, and I knew who it was. I was about to tell her not to, but I bit back the words, focusing on getting the heels on my feet before Lucian actually arrived. I took one last glance at my reflection. I looked perfect and deadly in black.
