I palm my forehead. He has hired a personal beautician for me. I'm not looking at the same girl I saw myself in my daily life. I swallow hard as I gather my thoughts together. The ends of my hair are curled, makeup is giving me a look of a celebrity.

It's beautiful all white but not pure white and lavender blue walls, a luxury king size bed with an extra tall headboard, huge bedroom decor. Walls are shining like newborn glass. Grey wave type curtains and sheer ceiling type curtains are adding more charm. It feels like I've stepped into another world. I don't wanna wrap my mind around it. I sigh heavily.
