the double date from hell
Who: Dominic, Camilla, Castel, and Keira
When: Evening
Where: The twin's penthouse --> Restaurant
Camilla was trying very hard to remain in the birthday spirit. She had been earlier this morning, and well throughout the day. It wasn’t until Dominic announced that Keira would be joining them for dinner that her mood went south. She hadn’t seen the other woman since their fight, in which the little terror had broken her collarbone. Camilla wasn’t entirely confident that she could maintain composure, but she couldn’t argue with Dominic about the matter. Castel was coming with them as well, and it wasn’t just her birthday. Dominic and Keira seemed to be getting along – wasn’t that the reason they were in Scarlet Oak in the first place? Camilla’s opinion that her brother deserved drastically better than the brunette meant nothing; she was Dominic’s mate and there was nothing that could change that fact, save for her death. Now there’s a comforting thought. “I promise I’ll behave,” Camilla said as she left her bedroom, still pinning her earrings in. “If you tell her not to push me.” Okay, so she was incapable of remaining completely silent about the affair. Her main concern was not causing a scene in public while out with Castel. Keira may not have cared about keeping her reputation untarnished, but Camilla held herself to a higher standard.
She ran her fingers through her hair, which she had curled and pinned into a side-ponytail – needless fidgeting that she noticed was becoming an all too frequent habit when she was meeting her former beau. Catching herself, Camilla threw her hands to her sides. “Would you like to open your other gift,” she called out to wherever Dominic happened to be getting ready. She had already given him a dress shirt she had made specifically for tonight; it paled in comparison to Castel’s suit, but she knew she would remedy that soon by making one for her brother as well. Before Dominic could answer, the bell rang, announcing someone at the door. “I supposed it can wait until later,” she said as she moved to the door. I may need it later as an apology. Camilla wasn’t anxious to be the first face Keira saw, given that that was who waited on the other side of the door, but that wasn’t to say she was afraid. Please! Keira was the one who should be worried. In one deep breath, she pulled up the standard pleasant smile that she gave most people when she needed them to believe she was a person of good intentions and opened the door to their first guest.
