Chapter 99. Forgiving

Harlyn

My last few hours were spent with Lucy and Lotta getting ready for this ball, where Stefan will announce the pups. Lotta is in her element. She has on a dress. One that has taken hours for her pick.

I blamed Lucy for that. The ideal thing to do was bring a few dresses, no more than six, for Lotta to pick from. Instead, she had almost an entire room, and that meant she wanted to wear them all.

In the end, she gave up on the giant princess dresses and went for a more simple one. It didn't have the big petticoat skirt under it, either.

Lucy helped me pick a dress, and it matched Lotta's in a way; I didn't see why I needed a dress. As I told her, no one noticed me yesterday; they pushed in front of me to get to Stefan.

Apparently, however, once it's announced the pups are Stefan's, people might approach them while they are with me. I still think my dress is a bit too much, but I won't argue with Lucy.
