Chapter 0426

Since we needed special costumes for the event, the candidates, Julian, and Nicholas all attended a group fitting in one of the larger sitting rooms. This large room had several smaller rooms connected, where individuals could go to change or have more personal measurements taken.

My costume was a darker hue, since I was apparently a villain. The seamstress working with me also indicated that Bridget wanted me to wear a domino mask over my eyes. The seamstress said it would help me look mysterious, but I wondered if it was to help hide my terrible acting.

I could read lines okay, but I never could get my face to make the correct emotions. Except, of course, during the rejection scene with Nicholas. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bridget wanted me to remove the mask for that one scene alone.

Across the room, Bridget was personally helping Elva with her flower girl costume. Nicholas was there too. Elva would pick ribbons for her hair then hold them up for Nicholas to see. He smiled and nodded at each one.

At the same time, he was being fitted for a bright white cape that would be impossible to keep clean under normal circumstances.

She was calm, if not a bit curious looking around, taking in everything she missed.

I desperately wanted to talk to her, to find out everything going on with her, but with so many people around, I was afraid to open my mouth in case. someone might overhear me.

Glancing at me, she must have caught the conflict on my face.

“We’re keeping things private until we can figure out the best way

forward,” she said softly to me, giving me a kind smile. It was a relief to see her so happy, after the misery she’d been through the past few days.

Leaning closer, she whispered, “But we are going to stay together no matter what.”

It would be difficult for them. They’d have lots of challenges. But I was so pleased for them. If they truly loved each other, they would make it through the hardship. They’d make it work, and they’d be a happy little family.
