"Ms. Everlee," Delilah called knocking on the door.

"Please give me a sec," answered Everlee as she quickly dried herself and put on her nightwear jumping into her bed.

"You may come in now," Everlee told the maid as she covered herself from her neck to her toe pretending as if her stomach still hurt.

"Here is your chicken soup miss," Delilah placed the soup on the bedside table and began to return downstairs.

"Delilah," Everlee called.

Delilah stopped turning her attention to Everlee.

"After I've consumed my chicken soup, I'll be going to bed, so please don't try to wake me nor check on me," Everlee informed her.

"Yes miss," answered Delilah and left the room immediately.

Everlee didn't like what she had said to the maid. It made her feel awful and quite rude, but she had to do it knowing her mom. Mrs. Poppy will instruct her to keep an eye on her and she didn't want her parents to know that she will be sneaking out of the house tonight.

Everlee waited in bed anxiously to hea

    "Will Everlee be coming down for her breakfast now?" Delilah asked Paris, placing down the meal she had prepared, Chamomile tea and toast bread with a spread of honey. "No, she's still sleeping," answered Paris. Paris took a big bite enjoying her delicious crunchy sweet toast. "You won't believe what disgraceful news I've just heard," Paris heard her mom entering the dining room. "What is it?" she asked frighteningly as the toast fell from her hand. Paris was now worried if the news her mom had heard was about her sister at the painting party yesterday. Mrs. Poppy sat around the table upset. Paris's eyes were glued to her eager to know what the news was she had heard. "Mrs. Velvet's daughter Veronica is pregnant, and she's not even married to the man as yet," Mrs. Poppy said disturbed by the news. "Oh," said Paris feeling very relieved it was not about Everlee. She knew if her mom had discovered that Everlee was pretending to be sick so she could get to another event with a ma

    "Where is your sister Everlee? it's almost 4:30 pm and she's not here," complained Mrs. Poppy ready to leave to see Mr. Wealth "She must be on her way," answered Paris as she began to worry hoping she is. "That girl has been a disappointment from the day she runs off to New York City without our consent," Mr. Poppy too began to complain. "Daddy, please don't speak so ill about her, she's here to reconcile things just forgive her like mom as," said Paris. "I'll forgive her when she returns back to New York City," retorted Mr. Poppy grabbing his coat. Paris stared at him sadly wishing he could just forget what Everlee did years ago and accept her within his life again. "Where are you, Everlee?" Paris whispers softly. Paris knew exactly where her sister was. She was very happy for her but hoped she return in time, so she won't be late to see her fiancé' Archer. She hasn’t seen him from the day he had placed his ring on her finger. She wanted to see him so badly. "Mrs. Poppy, you c

    The entire way back home Mrs. Poppy complained upset about how disrespectful Archer was kissing her daughter right in front of her when he wasn't even wedded to her. Paris ignored her, biting her bottom lip recollecting her first kiss repeatedly with Mr. Archer. "Mr. Jonathan was nothing like his son within his age, I don't think he's right for Paris, probably we should just cancel the arranged marriage," said Mr. Poppy. "Daddy no!" Paris retorted alarmed by what he had said. "I agree with you David," Mrs. Poppy said to her husband. "No, I love him, please don't do this to me," Paris begged not wanting them to cancel her wedding. "Well next time he kisses you again like that, I will surely cancel the wedding," complained Mrs. Poppy. Paris nodded sadly as she began to worry that Archer doesn't kiss her again in front of her parent nor much as touch her until they're wedded. I'll have to always keep my distance from him if I want to marry the man of my dreams, Paris thought sadly.

    "I love this wedding dress mom," Paris stood staring into the mirror. "It looks beautiful on you," said Mrs. Poppy smiling happily that her daughter was finally going to get married. "I wish Everlee could see me in this dress," said Paris happily. Paris spun around loving her reflection in the mirror. She couldn't wait to walk down the aisle so Archer could see her in her wedding dress. "Go and take off the dress, tomorrow we'll come here to shop for more things for your wedding," Mrs. Poppy told Paris. Paris went to take off her beautiful white wedding gown and gave it to her mom to pay for it at the cashier. ***** "Where have you been all my life?" asked Archer as he touched a loose strand of Everlee's silky blonde hair twisting and twirling it within his hand playfully. "Waiting for you?" answered Everlee as she brought her lips to kiss him. "Stay with me, please, I'll miss you too much if you should leave," pleaded Archer. "I would stay with you if I could," retorted Ever

    Archer was surprised. He was stunned to see Everlee at his fiancé’s home and too curious to know why she was there. What are you doing here? Everlee was about to ask him, but she stopped herself before she could, as she heard her mom approaching her from behind. "Mr. Wealth, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Poppy asked curiously now standing beside Everlee. Everlee looked at her mother and Archer repeatedly, confused about how they knew each other. Archer returned Everlee's stare every time she looked at him. Paris overheard her fiancé’s name in the dining room and quickly rushed from the table to see him. Though her mom had an issue with them meeting or being too close to each other, she just wanted to see his face and to hear his soothing voice just for a minute, and of course, she finds it quite rude not to greet him after he had visited her home. "Mr. Archer," Paris called entering the hallway. Archer's eyes slowly paused at Everlee now discovering that she was somehow related

    The entire evening Everlee ignored Paris. Paris hated it. She couldn't stand being disregarded by her dear sister. The night she thought about going to check on her to see if she was okay, but she dreads Everlee will become agitated by her and so she stopped herself before she could and hope that tomorrow she would be in a better mood. The following morning Paris went downstairs to have her breakfast aspiring her sister to be in the dining room having her breakfast and in a cheerful mood rather than yesterday. She was disappointed she was still in her room. "Good morning mom," greeted Paris as she sat down to have her breakfast. "Are you prepared for another long shopping for your wedding today?" inquired Mrs. Poppy sipping her tea. Paris nodded. She was not excited about going out shopping when her sister was locked in her room, not in a good spirit. Paris took a small bite at her toast. "Let your sister know she must come along with us in making shopping easier for us than yest

She secretly peeks from the tree hoping Paris didn't follow her until it felt safe for her to revealed herself. Where are you Archer, she worried about Archer being late to meet her. Knowing Paris had seen her she needed to return home before Paris did and made her believe she saw someone else from across the road. Within a few minutes, Everlee saw Archer's carriage coming toward her. She inhaled heavily and exhaled slowly preparing to do what she was here for and that was to end what they had and begged him to still marry her sister. Archer exited the carriage quickly. Everlee stared at him sadly at how handsome and attractive he was and that she will have to let him go no matter how hard it is. "I spotted your sister and your mother nearby, we have to go somewhere secret," Archer told Everlee as he took her by the hand and helped her into his carriage. The carriage quickly drove off.

    "Mom," Paris called frighteningly. "What is it and why you're frightening me," said Mrs. Poppy angrily. "Tomorrow in the afternoon is the Greenfield celebration for all farmers, and I stupidly forget to ask Archer to join us," retorted Paris. "Don't worry your father wrote to him about it," answered Mrs. Poppy. "Did he write back that he'd join us?" asked Paris curiously. "Your father hasn't received any response from him as yet," replied Mrs. Poppy. Paris was saddened by her mom's response. "If he had I'm positive he wouldn't be interested to join us, Greenfield seems to be too country for him," said Mrs. Poppy.
