The seamstress and her assistants can barely speak English but between them all we manage to convey what I would like to have made. I stripped off my leggings, tank top, and underwear leaving me naked under my robe so she could create a pattern for them to replicate but I’m pretty sure without elastic and other modern materials it’s going to fall pretty short. I don’t care. I’m just happy I will have a few more options to wear that aren’t ball gowns. Luca must have given the woman an idea of what I like wearing because she came with three pairs of pants. At first I thought they were skirts because of how much fabric there was but when I tried the first pair on I realized that they were more like palazzo pants just with much wider legs so that they looked like a skirt. As well as the pants she had brought three blouses similar to the dress shirts the guys all wear but more fitted to flatter my size. A few wide leather belts with decorative markings tooled into the leather gave me three new casual outfits. Now if only I could explain to her how to make an oversized, slouchy hoodie, I grumble under my breath as they start packing up to leave.

Finn and Cade come into my room with grim expressions immediately making me nervous. They wait for the seamstress and her team to leave before shutting the door behind them and then turn to face me. I chew on my bottom lip waiting for whatever bomb they need to drop on me as Finn clears his throat.

“Something’s come up, lass and we’re truly sorry but we have to leave you.”

He says it so solemnly and Cade’s jaw twitches as he holds it so tightly that I feel tears spring up into my eyes. I’m such an idiot. Of course they’re leaving. They had their fun with me and now it’s time to move on. I mean, what did I think was going to happen? Just because I fell down the rabbit hole doesn’t mean fairy tales are fucking true. After all the shit that’s been handed to me in my life, I should know that better than most. I spin my back to them so they won’t see how much it hurts and try to keep the little bit of pride that I have left. I have to swallow twice to be sure my voice doesn’t betray me before I can speak.

“I understand. I’ll gather my things and go.” I say, wincing at the tremble in my voice. I don’t know where I can go but I’ll figure it out somehow.

“Go? Go where?” Cade asks in confusion.

I square my shoulders and take a steadying breath before turning back to them but keep my gaze averted. “I…I don’t know. Maybe there’s a tavern or Inn I could find a job at. Don’t worry about it. It’s not your problem.” I say, blinking back my tears.
