The design was graceful yet refined, perfectly accentuating her natural elegance.
It was obvious she had spent time preparing.
Emery looked at her for a moment before smiling.
"You look beautiful today."
The compliment caught Klea off guard. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks before she quickly looked away, pretending to adjust her sleeve.
