After Alanie had finished pulling the dress on, she turned her attention to me. "Can you zip me up?"
I approach her from behind and pull the zipper up. Additionally, there is a hook at the top of the garment, and I bring it together for her. As I move around her, I make adjustments to the dress.
She spins about while wearing the yellow sundress above the knee. "How do I look, sis?"
"Alanie, you have a stunning appearance. That garment was explicitly crafted with you in mind.
It is then that she breaks into a broad smile. "I think so, too." She pulls down my dress and zips it up when she can.
With a dip at the back that stops just above my hips, I am wearing a long white dress that is white. I'm thankful that my front is completely covered, as it has been completed. Dresses that expose only half of my breasts become intolerable to me.
Although I am aware that I have a good body, I am at a loss to comprehend how the majority of women can go around town with their breasts partially exposed by their dresses.
When I answer the door after hearing a knock, Seraphina stands before me. I am immediately drawn to her presence.
She covers her mouth with her palm, and her eyes become moist. "You two are just stunning. "It's almost as if my like was made specifically for the two of you," Seraphina yells as she redirects her attention to the entrance. When Zinnia goes through the door, she notices Alanie and me and immediately stops moving. "Zinnia," she says. Oh my God! It would be best if you had been this organization's public face from the beginning.
Seraphina nods. "I know, right." I am the target of her pointing. "She was under our noses this entire time, and we didn't make her wear our and stand in front of the camera."
Zinnia and Seraphina embrace Alanie and me.
Miguel shouts out. "Where are the young ladies? This is where Taylor and Walden are waiting. After walking around the corner, he comes to a complete halt. No way, is that our photographer? Absolutely not. She is looking beautiful in your outfits, Seraphina. He murmurs something into her ear while pressing his hand on the small of her back against her skin.
She smacks him in a jesting manner. "Shut up." Seraphina makes a turn to face us once more. "Follow us to your brother's."
We turn the corner and see Walden and Taylor dressed in suits. Alanie and I are stunned.
To get closer to Taylor, I walked over to him because the sleeves on his jacket suit were longer than his arms. "Can I have some pins, please?"
While folding the sleeve inside and pinning it, one of the girls on set comes over with pins. This ensures that no one will be able to determine the length of the sleeve.
I adjusted his tie so that it was aligned with the side of his neck, then smoothed it down and removed any creases.
Take note of Walden. It is he who turns when I say it. When I noticed a missing one of his back pockets, I stuffed it into the jeans. Aside from that, my brothers have a decent appearance when dressed in suits.
A few girls from the workplace are in the studio, examining my brother in great detail.
Taylor laughs as Walden approaches him and whispers something in his ear. Taylor is surprised by her actions. She gives him a wink before pirouetting around.
Miguel stares at us with awe. It was Taylor. I want to take a picture of you and Katherine together. There is a relationship between you two, Walden and Alanie. First, he takes pictures of Alanie and Walden together and then moves on to taking photos of each separately.
After that, I will have a chance to stand next to Taylor for a group portrait.
Miguel instructs me to lean back slightly and to lay my right hand on Taylor's shoulder. He also tells me to smile. Taylor is advised to maintain a hand on my back and comply with his request.
When I do this with my brother, it makes me feel uncomfortable.
I wish Melvin had stayed instead of leaving after watching what happened to me in the video.
Walden enters the room hurriedly, looking specifically at Taylor. We must get to the hospital. One of our friends was involved in an accident.
Miguel stares at him in awe. "Go, I have enough photos of you."
My brothers capture Seraphina's attention. You must return the following day. I would like you to wear my clothes as well.
"Okay," Taylor leans forward and kisses my cheek. "I'll see you tonight, sis." He makes a beeline for the locker room.
Miguel takes several more photographs of me. "Katherine, that is all I have for you today. We hope Melvin will be here with us tomorrow.
When it comes to that, I won't hold my breath. He'll likely need another day away from me.
Afterwards, I return to the changing room and put on my clothes.
After I finish, Alanie will wait for me outside the transformation room. I need a ride home. Walden and Taylor left me here so that they could go to the hospital.
"Do you know who's in the hospital?"
Her head is shaken in shock. Those two have been behaving differently for the past two months. Have you given it any thought?
I have, but I was under the impression that I was seeing images.
I grab my bag, then sling it over my shoulder. We should go to the hospital to find out what is going on with our brothers. In any case, they do not have many friends with whom they communicate. Imagine for a moment that they made everything up so they could go home and play games.
He comes to a stop. I wonder if they will make it up. What are your thoughts on the possibility that Melvin is in the hospital and phoned our brothers because he didn't want you to find out about it?
He was able to accomplish that. In fact, Melvin regularly communicates with Taylor and Walden when I am away from home.
I get into my vehicle and drive away from the parking lot simultaneously.
******
While on my way to the hospital, I looked for a parking spot and parked my car there. Taylor's is just a short distance from where I parked my vehicle.
They have arrived.
As I enter the hospital, I act as though I am aware of my destination as I go in.
Melvin, my brothers, and a woman dressed in a suit are all in the waiting area where I am. It is Melvin's hand that she places her hand on top of. You can't act hastily, Melvin. For example, you could fly to Paris and confront her about what you witnessed there. Should you choose to do so, you will be placing her life in even greater jeopardy.
Is it her? Does anyone have a problem with me?
Whenever she stares at Taylor, her eyes become gentler. Her brothers have made a significant effort to bring that woman to justice for the crimes that she committed against their sister. If you are still willing to do everything it takes to ensure that she is safe, you will remember what you witnessed when you returned to your house. I cannot hear what she says since she whispers in his ear.
As I turn around, I face Alanie. "I want to go home." My sister is following me out of the hospital, pulling behind me.
When I get to the car, I toss the keys to her. "You can drive. I must think about what they said, but I can't do that while driving. They were talking about something.
She is looking at me. "When you say home, do you mean Melvin's or Mom's?"
"I don't care."
Following Alanie's departure from the hospital parking lot, she makes her way to her mother's residence.
As soon as we arrived, she knew I would have to talk with my mother.
When I peek out the window again, I see my mother opening the car door. She immediately grabs me and carries me into her arms. "I'm glad you're home, sweetheart."
