My story! Lmaoo this was supposed to be one sentence so I had more planned and stuff but my hands were typing 🧍🏽♀️
in the dark
1852, her large room at the palace
The reflection in the mirror, was a beautiful young lady. Dressed in a red gown, reflective earrings through the chandelier above her, and her hands tangled in her hair. Her freshly painted nails, one of the court ladies did for her, did not work in her justice when making an attempt at detaching the hairpins she oh-so-badly wanted to take out.
Her long eyelashes blinked out of disbelieve when she heard someone knock on the wooden door she could see through the mirror. “Are you done, Miranda? Your father is expecting you downstairs to meet the guests.”
There she was. Standing there in the silence of the night, forced to spend at this one important event from her father. Smushing her small red lips together with a loud swallowing noise coming from her dry throat, looking her reflecting right in the eye. She didn’t move, she didn’t speak.
Miranda closed her eyes out relief when the sound of a pair of heels was getting softer. “How can I get out of this?” She stayed there with her eyes closed, she couldn’t dare to look herself in the eyes. Luckily, she didn’t have to when reaching for the little crumpled note she had hidden in her gown.
Holding the crumpled note in front of her and slowly bowing her head while unfolding it.
“Meet me when the sun starts falling, when you need me the most.”
He was Miranda’s little secret. She’s the only one who knew him in the palace. And at this very moment, she needed him the most.
