"A dress?"
Blinking, Lariette's gaze landed on the navy blue dress and the flower bouquet. Without a doubt, Ruediger prepared both for her with the candlelight dinner in mind.
In actuality, she had expected to come home and maybe stare into her closet for thirty minutes, debating with herself what to wear. But this gift that had been awaiting her stopped her breath short.
Lariette stepped closer, a smile curving on her lips. She reached out a hand, gently touching the fabric that looked soft and elegant in a luxurious dark blue.
The color shimmered subtly under the overhead lights. It had the kind of modest and timeless style she loved, made up of a high gathered neckline, long sleeves and a gently flared ankle-length skirt.
Also, this was perfect for an autumn night.
