(Three Years Ago)
LYNETTE’S FIRST BALL was not going at all as she had imagined it would.
For one thing, hardly anyone had asked her to dance. With the exception
of a randy young buck with roaming hands, and a baron so old she’d feared
he might drop dead before the end of their waltz, her dance card remained
embarrassingly empty. She couldn’t understand why, and had even made two
trips to the parlor in order to peer at her reflection in the looking glass and
ensure she didn’t have anything stuck between her teeth.
Both times she’d seen nothing that might indicate why men were taking
one glance at her and turning the other way. Lynette was not so vain as to
believe herself the most fetching young lady in the room, but she also knew
that she wasn’t abhorrent to look at. Her body may have been a bit on the
slender side, but her face was devoid of any noticeable blemishes and her
dark hair gleamed beneath the half dozen chandeliers hanging from the
vaulted ceiling.
Perhaps it is my dress, she thought with an absent frown as she glanced
down at her ball gown. Constructed of the palest blue muslin with white lace
trim and delicate bell sleeves, it was a bit outdated, but not horribly so. The
same could be said of her jewelry. While the plain pearl stud earrings and
pearl choker she wore suited her modest personality, perhaps they were a bit
boring when compared to the flashing sapphires and glittering diamonds the
other women wore.
Oh, well.
As her father was fond of saying when one of his great ideas didn’t
succeed, failure was merely another chance to try again. There would be
other balls and social gatherings at which she might meet her future husband
and love of her life. Her expectations had merely been a bit high out of the
gate. Best to lower them down to a more suitable level less she find herself
immersed in disappointment for the duration of the Season.
