Chapter 18: Exhilaration
Sirena
I slip on the dress. The dress is a rich, beautiful red color with a sexy A-line cut, chiffon spaghetti straps, and floor-length. It has low back fully beaded. Then, I slip into my beaded open-toe red platform shoes. I feel like a million bucks. Mr. Wells gave me the gown as a present for doing a good job at the Michigan art show the other night.
I have a piano recital tonight, and the dress is perfect. I still haven't seen Torin or Zane. We have a date tomorrow night. After Torin's phone call the other night, I don't know how I got through the weekend with Mr. Wells. All I could think about was Torin. I felt unsettled by his behavior over the phone. He never called again, which made me go through a mixture of emotions. Mr. Wells had to ask me if I was fine several times. I hated that thoughts of Torin ruined those two days for me. But I also hated that he didn't come after me. I don't know. I'm all messed up.
