After having spent Valentine's Day with Bunny, Jack went back to her duty of bringing winter and fun. She would stop in at the Bennett house from time to time and Mrs. Bennett was always welcoming. As the season of winter began to give way to spring, Jack found herself spending more time at the Bennett's as her free time began to increase. Then Easter was approaching and Jack found herself the subject of Mrs. Bennett's motherly instincts.
"You should have a proper dress for Easter Sunday."
"Uh..." Jack seemed caught off guard by the announcement and looked sheepishly down at her clothes. She was back in the jean skirt and tank top again, she didn't see anything wrong with it and it seemed Mrs. Bennett was able to catch onto her thoughts rather easily.
"There isn't anything wrong with how you dress regularly but Easter is a special day and you should have something special to fit the occasion."
"Oh, uh, ok. I guess."
Mrs. Bennett smiles at her and pulls out a bag from a clothing boutique in town. "I got a few things for you to try on, I figured that you probably wouldn't have anything so I went and got these for you. Whatever you don't like, or doesn't fit, can be returned."
Jack looks at the bag and takes it slowly from the other woman, smiling sheepishly. "Thank you." Her voice is soft and she looks into the bag to see what it holds.
"Why don't you go up to Sophie's room and try them on. When you find one you like, let me see."
"Alright." Jack hurries up the stairs and into Sophie's room, the Bennett children were both currently in school so Jack didn't feel like she was intruding.
Trying on the first few things left her not too happy. The colors were too springy for her taste and she couldn't find herself liking all the pastels and flowers. Reaching the bottom she finds a white peasant blouse with sleeves that reach her elbows and a blue knee length skirt that fluttered prettily when she gave a twirl. She noticed a faint pattern of flowers in the fabric of the skirt but they almost looked like frost flowers with how they shimmered. Satisfied she puts the other clothes back and heads downstairs to show the outfit off to Mrs. Bennett.
"What do you think?" She gives a twirl and Mrs. Bennett smiles at her.
"You look lovely."
"Thank you, for the clothes."
"Its no problem Jack." They both smile and soon Jack is changing back with a promise to come by on Sunday for Easter.
I had forgotten how short this one was so you get another double dose to make up for it, plus this was kind of just filler, I mean like really just filler. I'm a horrible author. *bangs head on desk* Please leave a review
