"Wow, is that really you, Adam?" Lea asked, stepping back to admire her handiwork.
She had just finished styling Adam's white hair, slicking it back in a stylish manner, and had even added a touch of makeup to give his pale skin a healthier glow. She might've gone a little overboard with the extra touches—none of which Adam had asked for—but the deed was done.

"You're going to drive all the ladies wild, Adam," Lea teased with a mischievous grin.
"Was that really necessary, though?" Lyanna cut in, arms crossed. "Isn't he just here to check on the bride and her soon-to-be husband?"
