Eagerly, but with care, I opened the box that had just arrived from my father. After untying the string and removing the lid, I was greeted with layers of tissue and a folded sheet of paper. Opening the paper I read the short note. Enjoy your first Longest Night in the City of Elua. Love, Father I felt a swell of emotion and blinked back tears. Whatever was inside the layers of tissue didn't matter, I was touched that he had thought of me. I was also hit by a bit of homesickness. I set the note aside and peeled back the layers of tissue, gasping softly at what was revealed. Slowly, I withdrew the dress and walked over to a mirror, holding the dress in front of me. The dress was made of a beautiful black silk and edged in copper lace. The neckline was rounded and low, but not immodest, the lovely copper lace negating the need for jewelry. The sleeves were fitted down to the wrist where they flared and showed more layers of the lace. The bodice was fitted as well, with the skirt flaring out just at the swell of my hips. The hem of the skirt hung in swags, showing more of the lace beneath. It was fantastic, and by far the most lovely gown I had ever had. Smiling at my reflection, I hugged the dress to myself, feeling an eagerness rise within me for the night to arrive when I could wear it.
