Julia came in, having gone to her old room to get a wrap for the dress and
smiled, spotting him before setting down the wrap and going over to him and
adjusting the tie herself, gaze warm.

Yup, she thought, definitely looks good in a suit. Mmm, everything else too
but still... he did look good in a suit.

"There you go." she said, gently patting the tie and running her hand along
it before tucking it into his jacket "Good to go."

"Question is," she looked up at him curiously "Where are we going, hmm?"

She had opted to stay away from the high heels but even the small ones she
had on made her look a little taller and the black of the dress she had
changed into fit her form and yet hid, although she hadn't planned it, what
little signs of pregnancy that were starting to show, with the skirt ending
right above her knees and loose enough to make movement easy.  She had put
simple pearl earrings on and her hair was swept up and tucked with a couple
of pearl-beaded combs, with the length of her hair hanging down her back in
soft curls.

Derek smiled and kissed her cheek.  "you'll see," he promised her.  He moved
to the bed, picking up her wrap and held it out for her to slip into, then
took her hand and headed down stairs.  "You look particularly stunning," he
added as they walked down the stairs.
