"Excuse me, do you have the time?" I ask a woman wearing a silver dress.
"Ten to." She says, checking her watch.
"Thank you." I walk away and stand near the steps, waiting for my darling to come so we can enter the gala together.
I pace the floor and straighten my green, floor length gown. I look up and my heart skips a beat.
Descending elegantly from the large staircase is my beauty, wearing a straight orange gown that accents her curves.
I gulp and take a deep breath.
As she is halfway down she sees me and smiles widely.
"Hello, sweetie." I say when she reaches the bottom of the stairs.
She reaches for my hand and says, "Sorry for making you wait, darling."
"Oh, it's fine, Princess, I was just fixing my hair."
"Okay, ready to go in?"
"Hmm?" I ask, my mind wandering.
"Into the gala, baby." She giggles.
"Oh, yes. Let's." I look away, blushing.
"You're adorable."
"Shut up. Lets go." I start walking, leading my little girl through the doors.
Once in, we take to the dance floor. We dance three slow songs together and then two faster paced songs. Laughing and smiling, we retreat to a table to rest.
"I am having so much fun." I say, smiling.
"So am I, I love being able to do things like this."
"Me, too."
She leans over and kisses me, brushing her hand over my cheek and smiling as she does so.
I smile and wonder if it will ever get better, knowing in my soul it will.
