The next day, I awoke feeling refreshed and invigorated. Well, okay, after I forced myself to get up and get a shower I did.. I put on some super cute jeans and a t-shirt and opened my door (still yawning) to find Erik sitting in the bench across the hall.
"Finally! I thought I was going to die of boredom!" He mocked.
"Well, its not my fault you woke up so early.." I smiled.
"Yeah, yeah.. You hungry?"
"Actually, no. What do you say we just walk around for awhile?"
"Fine with me. Have anywhere in mind you want to go?"
"Umm… Well, are we allowed into the ballroom while they're setting it up for tonight?"
"I believe so.. If not, I'll make them let us in." -wink-
I laughed. "Yeah, I'm sure."
We kinda got sidetracked while chasing each other through the hallways, so it took us about an hour to reach the ballroom. But when we did reach it, it took my breath away..
Technically it wasn't a ballroom. Due to the past year's increasing number of attendees, this year they cleared out the seats in the huge room with the stage for the operas they used to perform there. From the beautiful artwork on the ceiling to the gorgeous chandelier hanging above, it was absolutely amazing!
I smiled as I thought of dancing in this room, dancing with Erik. And as I looked around, my smile growing ever the more bigger, I knew tonight was going to be absolutely fabulous!
