Leia stood in front of the mirror, admiring the way the dress hugged her figure. She did a gentle twirl on her heels, the fabric flowing gracefully around her legs.
The crisscrossed straps across her back held the dress securely in place, while the high slit along her left thigh added a bold touch, one that somehow gave her a boost of confidence.
"Is this too daring?" she whispered to herself, tilting her head as she examined her reflection. A small smile curved her lips. "No... it feels just right."
Her makeup was soft and natural, enhancing her features without overpowering them. Her hair was swept into an elegant bun, a few loose strands framing her face. Leia took a slow, calming breath.
"Why am I nervous?" she murmured, trying to shake the flutter in her chest. "It's just a birthday party and it is not even mine."
Still, part of her couldn't ignore the feeling.
"Leia, do you still need time?" Kieran gently knocked on the door before asking.
