In the afternoon, Phoenix took me to a fancy studio. He chose a gown and a cloak for me.
I also did my hair and makeup there.
When everything was done, I looked at myself in the mirror and pondered about my future.
All I could see was darkness.
It was sad and ridiculous.
In the evening, I stayed at Anthony's house and continued to play pretend with Phoenix.
Our roles were a loving couple.
During the banquet, Anthony repeatedly urged us for a grandchild.
I wore a plastic smile and pretended to go along with it.
Yet I knew this was impossible.
When we got into the car, my cloak's tassel got tangled on the hidden buckle of Phoenix's belt.
Since my gown was low cut, I didn't take off this cloak all night.
But if I bent down to untangle the tassel, my posture might send the wrong idea.
I had no choice but to take my cloak off. After all, I couldn't let Phoenix take off his belt.
I untangled the tassel and said, "I'm almost done."
