Love And Splendor: The Coltrane Saga, Book 5 (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
She had always hated having her hair done, preferred to wear it loose and flowing, but tonight’s dinner was formal. She turned to look once again at the new gown that had been delivered only that day. Of mocha satin, it was sleek, smooth, glamorous. Drop pearl earrings would be her only adornment. Simone administered finishing touches to her coiffure, smiled with satisfaction and declared, “Splendide! Mademoiselle is gorgeous!” Unconcerned for the moment with humility, Dani agreed, then dismissed her with a warm thank you and a generous pourboire. Alone, she stared solemnly at her reflection in the onyx-framed mirror over her skirted dressing table. Lovely hair style. Lovely dress. Yet, she was dreading the evening before her. Oh, not everything. She was certainly looking forward to being with Drake as she had been every night since they had met at her party over two weeks ago. She closed her eyes and allowed the warm rush of pleasant memories to take her away…back in time to the moon-kissed evenings spent dancing in Drake’s arms…afternoons sipping tea at sidewalk cafés…picnics on the bank of the river Seine, laughing like children as they sipped wine and munched crisp, fresh-baked bread, nibbled cheese and apples, ruining their appetite for sumptuous candlelit dinners later…and not caring.
