Josephine gathered her emotions, wavering a little under the upcoming event. 'Calm, I need to calm down. If I seem distressed, Raoul will be worried. Everything will be fine- no, better than fine- Much better than fine.' Her mind wheeled to try and clear itself, but it was so jumbled up that no matter what she tried to do she could not concentrate. The opening of the door caught her attention and snapped her from her thoughts. Josephine gave Raoul a gentle, warm smile as she glanced up, noticing how out of breath he seemed to be. She tried to read his expression, but there wasn't much more than what she had expected; he looked a little nervous as well, which comforted her. She didn't blush as his gaze traveled across her body, her heart racing and jumping as he studied her. Her mind and thoughts became nothing but a muddled mass, unable to be understood. Josephine stepped forward as he approached her, taking a hold of his hand. "Night has fallen, Raoul. I am ready."
