But I Do Love You
Section 12
"Amber, will you just come out already, so I can see how the dress looks?!" Virginia exclaimed in frustration, late the next afternoon. She and Amber had been trying on formal dresses from Virginia's mother's collection, as well as that of her two older sisters' (all of whom had died from the virus) for nearly two hours, and while Virginia had her dress picked out within the first ten minutes, Amber still couldn't make up her mind. Nothing tickled her fancy - either it was too short, too long, too skimpy, too slutty-looking, too old-ladyish, the neckline was too high or too low, the color wasn't right, or something. Amber found some reason to dislike everything she tried on. The Harvest Celebration started in about two hours, she still had no dress, and the two girls hadn't even begun to do their hair or anything.
"Alright. Here I come," Amber said. She stepped out of the large walk-in closet slowly. A smile spread across Virginia's face as she looked at her.
"I love it!" Virginia said.
"You think this is the dress?" Amber asked. Virginia nodded excitedly, her nose crinkling up as she smiled wider.
"Oh, yeah, that's the dress. Most definitely," Virginia replied with certainty, giving Amber a thumbs-up. "Alright, change back into your other clothes so we can get your hair and stuff done, okay?"
"Alright," Amber said, turning to go change. She paused and looked back over her shoulder at Virginia. "Actually, even if you didn't like this dress, I do, and I was going to wear it anyway. It makes me feel like a princess." Out of all the dresses she had tried on, something about that one made her feel special, beautiful, and she wanted to look her best in front of Jack that evening.
"That's what a formal dress is supposed to do, sweetie," Virginia responded, grinning. "Now go get changed!" Amber giggled like an excited little girl and ran back into the closet.
That's it for now! Please review – I'm anxious to hear your thoughts! And thanks for reading!
