I smoothed a few wayward curls and grimaced at my reflection in the looking glass.

T'would be my first Cotillion, and I sooo wanted everything to be perfect.

A sound behind me caught my attention.

I turned, and my eyes widened at the appearance of me Lord.

Connor looked magnificent.

Why, my mouth went dry just starin at him.

He musta had some indication of me thoughts, for he slouched against the door and raked me from top to bottom...and back to top with his gaze.

"Are ye certain ye wish to attend this .. party?"

I nodded slowly ... though to be sure, all the reasons for me wanting to had suddenly deserted me.

He grinned then and announced it was past time ta be leaving.

I jumped up, nervous again.

Worriedly, my hands smoothed the folds of my gown, brushing at imaginary specks and spots.

Connor watched silently, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

"Ye'll rub a hole in. Are ye ready now?" My hands stilled and I accepted his proffered arm.

Together we started for the Great Hall.
