CHAPTER 20

“What are you going to wear?” someone asked Alice, but the girl just stared into space. Giggles broke out around her. Alice stood and walked away. Before Cassie could go after her, Brianna asked her the same thing, “What about you, Cassie? What are you going to wear tonight?”

They’d been talking about it when she walked into the room. Cassie sat on one of the couches acting like she was excited about the idea of Pairing up with one of the guys. There had been only one other time she had to be so deceitful and that was on Deliverance Day.

Smiling, Cassie shrugged, “Oh, I don’t know. What do you think I should wear?”

Brianna lit up, and bounded over to Cassie. “There is this lace dress in the wardrobe. I tried to take it once for a dinner party, but Miriam said it was only to be worn during the Pairing.”

Cassie nodded, bobbing her head like it was a good idea, “That sounds pretty.” She glanced out the window, but the other girls’ giggles pulled her attention back to the room.

“It’s not pretty, Cassie. It’s sexy. The dress covers you, neck to ankles, but what makes it sexy is the key.” Brianna was smiling so hard. Cassie wondered how she could be excited about something that would kill her. Pairings led to babies, and childbirth wasn’t something that was survivable. Not for them. Not for Brianna, who bruised so easily. Cassie didn’t understand the girl’s excitement. Wanting to get called for a Pairing was a death wish. The other girls giggled. “Wait here,” Brianna said, patting Cassie’s knee. “I’ll go get it. Miriam already pulled it out.”

While Brianna grabbed the gown out of her room, Cassie smiled at the others. “Exciting, isn’t it?”

They all nodded, but it didn’t seem like any of them were as happy about the Pairing as Brianna. Cassie felt bad for them. Even if Cole managed to get her out, the others would be left behind. Brianna came back into the room with a length of black lace draped over her arm. Grinning, she held it up for Cassie to see.

The gown was Cassie’s size, and Brianna was right, it wouldn’t have worked for a regular dinner. As Brianna held the gown up, everyone could see why. The light shined through the lace. There was nothing under it, no lining to conceal anything. Brianna grinned devilishly and handed the dress to Cassie. “See, I told you it was sexy. It’ll make you feel pretty, and Brent will be able to see all of you straight through it.”

The girls began to giggle and squeal. Cassie tried to keep her plastic smile on her face. She held the dress in her hands and looked down at it. The lace was beautiful and delicate, and completely see-through. Her stomach turned to acid as she held it, thinking of what would happen to her if Cole didn’t find a way out.

“Someone go grab, Alice.” Brianna said, irritated. “We need to talk about the best ways to do this.
