Elizabeth had shopped for hours on end. Even her father, who usually loved the mall became annoyed with her. "Elizabeth, will you please get your stuff so we can go?"
"I'm sorry Daddy. I just can't find a gown I like!" Then it hit her "This is it!" Elizabeth pointed to a mid calf length blue gown. IT was blue silk and it had a small dark blue edging on it. Up the side was a slit a little past her knee, which was lined with embroidery and sequins. It was perfect, Will would love it.
"Elizabeth it only took you…" the governor looked at his watch "… 5 and ½ hours to find it. Now will you please tell me who you will be accompanied by."
"Daddy! I told you to stop pestering me you will just have to wait and see." Elizabeth made sure to drop the hint. The governor would never let Elizabeth go with William so she didn't tell him.
It was the big night Elizabeth was dressed and had her hair and nails done by Erin, her best friend. Her hair was Half up and half down. The both parts were curled. Her nails were a dazzling white almost a cream color.
A knock came from the front door. Mr. Swann answered and saw Will standing there. "Elizabeth!" the governor wasn't exactly pleased. Elizabeth saw at once what was wrong. Struggling to pull on her heels she ran down the stairs and out the door.
"Bye daddy! Love you!"
"He didn't know did he?" Elizabeth looked at the ground.
"No. He wouldn't have let me come." Elizabeth looked at William's ride. "Will you brought the Ford!"
Will opened the door
to the Browns truck, "Yeah, Mrs. B gave me the keys for
tonight."
"Oh Will! If my father wasn't watching I would
kiss you."
Will smiled, "A beautiful lady such as yourself kiss me? I don't know what I would do." The two laughed.
"Will, you look different."
"No more then you do. I mean you have seen me in a tux, but you in dress?" Elizabeth playfully punched William's arm.
"Come on. Lets go!"
