One, Two, Three (The Roleplay)

She nodded in understanding and fell silent again. This seemed to be a tendency of hers, and it didn't feel awkward; more, it felt like she wasn't going to continue a conversation unless Fleur so desired.

 

They approached Ferris’ apartment and they got to the main door.

“I’m going to walk you to Mr. Costlough,” she said quietly. “And then I’ll take up my post outside the apartment. Is that alright with you?”

 

They went up the stairs and Ferris opened the door after they knocked, brightening when he saw them.

“You’re here! Hi. Thank you, Claire.”

Claire only nodded and gave Fleur a small wave before leaving.

 

He gave her a quick kiss, looking genuinely happy to see her.

“Hi. How are you?”

 

“It was good,” he said thoughtfully. “I wasn’t stabbed, so that’s always good.”

 

“I missed you too, my darling,” he said lightly. “I have a surprise for you.”

 

“Yes,” he said brightly. “Go on up to the bedroom.”

 

She would find a red dress draped gently over the bed, the cut flattering and the sizing perfect. There was a small note. There was a small heart followed by Ferris' handwriting.

We have reservations in an hour.

 

She would hear him laughing from the kitchen.

"Get ready!"

 

The dress was flattering and tasteful, and the red was striking without being garish.
