By Thursday Roy had settled into a routine of helping Martha with
breakfast, helping with the morning chores and then wandering off until she
found a new peaceful place to read. Then around 3:30 she would head back to
the house to wait for Clark.
On Thursday when she got back up to the house, she walked into the kitchen and saw a huge box on the table. "It's for you." Martha said from the sink. "It came while you were out. It's from you mom." She continued.
"OH! My dress!" Rory exclaimed as she began opening the box. Moments later she pulled out a floor length dress. It was emerald green with a black lace overlay that made it shimmer. "Wow! Moms outdone herself." Rory mumbled as she marveled the dress.
"What else is in there?" Martha asked seeing more in the bottom of the box.
"Um…" Rory pulled the next item out. "Shoes," she said looking at the beautiful, shimmery black shoes that looked as though they were made for the dress. "And a hand bag." She said as she pulled out a drawstring handbag that obviously had been made for the dress. Then she pulled out two small boxes that were bound together with a ribbon. There was a note attached that she pulled out and read:
Rory,
Here is something I found the other day and thought that they would go perfectly with your dress. It was the last gift my mother gave me before I got pregnant with you. They were my grandmothers and now they're yours. (Wow if that doesn't sound as cheesy as cheese whiz.) Have a great time at the dance, I want all the details!
Love you.
Mom
She untied the ribbon and opened the first box. "Oh wow, and earrings." She said looking at the pair emerald earrings in the box. They consisted of a small emerald stud, with another small emerald hanging form a thin silver chain. "They're beautiful." Rory said more to herself than anyone else. After a moment she closed the box and picked up the other. When she opened it she say another small emerald floating on a thin silver chain. "Wow," was all she could say.
"Go try it on." Martha said after a few moments.
"Oh, yea, of course." She agreed taking the box up the stairs. Just as Clark came up the steps and through the door.
"Where'd Rory go?" he asked seeing her disappear upstairs.
"Her dress came, she went to try it on." Martha told him.
"Really! What's it look like?" he asked eagerly.
"You'll just have to wait and see." She told him. "But I will say that you are going to have a very beautiful date." She taunted as she went up to see Rory, leaving Clark in the kitchen grinning like a fool.
