Portia's P.O.V.
I woke up with the sun gently hitting my face and the scent of summer floating through the air. Levi wasn't beside me again, but on the table, a single tulip rested beside a small note.
"Get dressed and meet me at the Garden Scapes Mansion. Rent a carriage when you step out of the house." – Levi
The note made me blush with excitement. I hurried to the bathroom to get ready, wearing the floral white dress Levi had bought me. I paired it with simple doll shoes and mom's green sapphire necklace—its delicate pendant added a subtle charm to my vintage-inspired look. For makeup, I went with a fresh finish: nude blush and soft lipstick, just enough to enhance the feeling of a summer day.
I made sure the house was securely locked before stepping out. Placing a barrette in my hair, I scanned the street for a carriage. One soon pulled up beside me.
"Looking for a ride, madam?" the coachman asked with a polite smile.
"Yes, sir. Can you take me to Garden Scapes?" I asked.
