Chapter 12 : Called me pretty

Lady Tracy asked for my measurements the other day. I honestly did not pay much attention to it. Now, here I was wearing the most beautiful dress, I had ever had in my whole entire existence. It must have cost a lot of money and Lady Tracy did not work for free. I thought she was using me as a mannequin until she told me that it was entirely mine for a date.

"I did not know I had a date?"

"Elliot paid me his weeks pay. He said he wanted to do something nice for you. He also asked for a day off on your behalf."

No one has ever done anything so nice and considerate for me.

The fact that Elliot had sacrificed his week's pay just so I could stand here wearing such a elegant dress.. it baffled me. He loves me, I should love him back. I really want to try and return the love he gives me. I want to get to know him more.. basically I want to give this all a try.

"You look really pretty." Mary said genuinely, it made me feel actually pretty. I did not feel that way all the time in fact rarely.
