Minutes turned into hours, hours turned into days, and days turned into a week.
It had been exactly a week since the brief announcement, which also meant there were only two days left before Arthur's departure to Apex, Central's higher institution.
"Doesn't this look odd?"
Arthur's question was directed at Isabella, who was in front of him adjusting his noble suit.
She stepped back as if to assess him properly. "Really..." She exclaimed. "You're truly stunning beyond belief."
Arthur glanced away, a faint flush coloring his cheeks. "Well, thank you."
Isa wrapped her arm around his neck. "It's just a dinner with our family, so no need to get nervous."
Arthur nodded. "Yeah, but I've got to look the part."
He then smiled. "And you look lovely too."
Isabella took a step back and twirled in her black ball gown. "Right?"
Arthur tilted his head slightly, exhaling quietly.
