Saying Yes to the Dress
Julia and Emily go dress shopping for her wedding, but drama always comes along.
…
(Asylum in Dr. Ogden's office)
It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, Dr. Ogden is focusing on a report for a patient when her phone rings.
Ring, ring, ring.
Julia picks up the receiver "hello" she says.
"Hi Julia, its Emily, I hope I didn't catch you at a bad time?" Emily says with a happy but a little nervous voice.
"No Emily, I'm just writing a report, is there something you wanted?"
"Yes, since the wedding is in 2 weeks and I am your maid of honor and Mrs. Brackenreid has all the wedding stuff planned, I thought maybe I could take you dress shopping tomorrow and treat you to lunch?" said Emily excitedly
"I would love to" responded Julia
"great, I'll pick you up at 9:00 in the morning" Emily said
"sounds perfect Emily, thank you"
"you're welcome, oh the detective is here about the autopsy, I got to go."
"of course and thanks Emily again for everything goodbye" Julia said with a smile
"my pleasure, goodbye" Emily responded back and they both put down their receivers and continued with their work.
…
The Next Day
Emily picked up Julia at her house right at 9:00 in the morning.
Emily was wearing her hair up in a bun with curls falling on her cheeks. She wore the purplish bluish outfit she wore when she was protesting along with the suffragettes.
Julia was wearing her hair up as well in a bun with curls cascading down on her cheekbones. She was also wearing the outfit she wore when protesting.
Julia walks out of her house and opens the carriage door and sees Emily.
"good morning Emily" Julia says with a smile
"good morning Julia, you look nice today"
"as do you."
"So Emily what dress shop are you planning on taking me too?" Julia asked with a smile.
"well I was thinking Le Chateau" Emily said
"oh, um" Julia said looking down with disappointment
"is there something wrong with Le Chateau Julia?
"no, not reall…well yes"
"what's the problem Julia?" Emily asked looking at Julia with concern
"Le Chateau doesn't agree with my engagement to William" Julia said looking down at her engagement ring; the same ring that William had in his office drawer for the last 4 years that finally made it on the ring finger on the left hand.
"what…it's …none…of …but why Julia?" Emily said
Julia looks up from her ring and looks at Emily with tears in her eyes "there just a very high class, like us and also one of the employers with a family friend of Darcy's and when they heard about William and I getting married, they sent me a letter calling me a whore and that William was only after my money."
"ok Julia we won't go there, we'll go to Miss Marie's…is that alright?" asked Emily
"that's perfect Emily, thank you."
"driver to Miss Marie's" said Emily
"of course madam" said the driver
