lace
The lace tickled her arms as she walked, making her grimace, puckering her lips in annoyance. Her curled black hair flopped over her face, covering her eyes, and her slightly too-big heels clacked on the floor as she paced up and down the hallway. Where was he? Was he even going to turn up, or was he just going to leave her standing here like a god-damn fool, for Merlin's sakes? Had he cowered out of it?
Gods, she was the one who had arranged everything, made sure he had all he needed, made the appointment, organized the other details, and all he had to do was show up, and he couldn't even do that! If he wasn't here in five minutes, their appointment would be cancelled, and she did not want to go through trying to arrange it again.
It had been hard enough the first time.
As she lifted her head, he appeared around the corner, pale finger fumbling with his bow-tie. Pansy let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding, and paced towards him, her shoes clacking on the floor.
The lace irritated her arms, as she stretched up to finish tying his bow-tie. "There," she said, patting his chest, smiling slightly.
Draco looked at her, taking her hand in his. "Thanks."
She shrugged it away, her eyes widening as the door open, and Mr Thomas poked his head around, his eyes glittering at them. "Feel free to come right through," he told them, smiling. "I'll take a while, so just set yourselves up."
Pansy walked through the door, smoothing down her dress. She bit her lip, pulling her fingers through her hair.
Draco stood across from her, their hands encased in each other. He ran his finger over her skin, making her smile softly. She glanced away from his intense gaze, blinking rapidly.
In five minutes, she was going to be Mrs. Draco Alexander Malfoy.
And that thought scared her more than anything.
