Next day, Bella woke up early, excitement bubbling in her chest like a child on Christmas morning.
She spent extra time getting ready, humming softly as she moved around the room. Leo had already left for work, pressing his usual kiss to her forehead before disappearing, but his absence did not dampen her mood. Today was about Grandpa.
She stood in front of her closet, surveying her options. Something nice but not too fancy. Comfortable for walking through an exhibition but pretty.
She settled on a simple dress.
Soft lavender color, falling just below her knees. Short sleeves, a delicate collar, and a thin belt at the waist that cinched it just enough. Comfortable flats in a neutral shade. Minimal jewelry, just the small gold hoops Leo had given her and her wedding band.
She looked in the mirror and smiled. Simple. Sweet. Perfect.
