The next day Elodie stops by to help me pick out an outfit, but I’m kind of distracted by thoughts of my father. It’s been driving me crazy, wondering who he is and what happened between my mom and him. I’m not even sure why it suddenly is bothering me other than maybe seeing everyone with their family’s at graduation struck a nerve. And then there’s the way my mom reacts every time she thinks about him.

After a bit of prying on El’s part, I decide to tell her my concerns.

“Maybe he broke her heart,” Elodie suggest as she dumps out the bag she brought with her. Clothes spill out across my bed, and I nearly go blind from all the sparkly material.

“Yeah, I’ve wondered that.” I sit down on the bed beside the pile of clothes and take a sip of my coffee.”But it doesn’t explain why she wouldn’t ever take his money.”

“Maybe she’s too prideful. Or maybe her never offered her any money.” Her hair falls into her face as she begins sorting through the clothes.

I balance my coffee on a trunk near the foot of my bed then rest back on my hands. “Maybe, but I don’t know… It seems like there’s more to it than that.” I stretch out my legs and cross my ankles. “But maybe I’m just overthinking things.”

She picks up a red, plaid shirt. “Hmm… Maybe…” She assessed the shirt.

I perk up. “Please tell me that’s part of what I’m wearing and not this.” I flick a short, black dress and pull a face.

“Actually, I’m thinking both.” She tosses the plaid shirt at me. “There’s your red.” She drops the dress onto my lap. “Here’s your black.” Then she plucks up a velvet choker and a pair of stockings. “And here are your accessories.”

I crinkle my nose at the dress. “Everything’s cool except for this thingy.”

She sighs, securing her hair into a messy bun with an elastic that’s around her wrist. “That’s not a thingy, Ens. It’s a dress. D.R.E.S.S. Dress. It’s not a bad word.” She grabs my hand and tugs me to my feet. “Now, go try this on so I can admire my artwork in all her sexy, grungy glory.”

Shaking my head, I collect the clothes and jewelry then step into the closet to change.

“And I’m thinking you should wear those clunky, lace-up boots with the velvet laces,” she calls out, turning on some music. “It’ll go good with the choker.”

“Okay.” Honestly, I don’t think anything is going to go good with anything since it’ll be on me, but Elodie will only argue with me if I say that. So, I strip out of my pajamas and wiggle myself into the fitted dress.

The hem hits me mid-thigh, which isn’t too bad. Although, I’ve never been a fan of showing off my freakishly long legs.

“So, can I ask you something?” Elodie says casually from outside of the closet.

“You mean, other than the question you just asked me?” I tease, flipping my hair out of the collar of the plaid overshirt.
