Song Luli woke up to the sound of her phone ringing.
She lifted her head, patting down her bed, feeling the softness of the sheets beneath her fingertips, until she found her phone. She answered it quickly.
"Hello?" she said in a low whisper of the morning.
"Luli! I received the invitation from your mother-in-law. But I don't have a new dress for the occasion," her sister whined.
"Meiling. There's still time," Song Luli answered, wondering why she needed to hear about it.
Song Meiling was quiet for a moment until she said, "Yes. Yes."
"Anything else?" Song Luli pressed.
"Erm...I have no one to go with when I pick it out. Can you come with me?" Song Meiling asked her.
Song Luli let out a weary sigh. "I'll go," she responded.
She heard her sister squeal with excitement over the phone. Song Luli flinched, placing the phone far from her ear, hanging up the call.
