"Leila? Your gift has just been delivered." I heard Ashley’s voice say behind me as she knocked briefly on the door, she stepped in, carrying in a box that apparently contained the gift I had paid the wedding gifts specialists to make specially for Neil. Since I could not speak to the specialists the day I planned to because of Tina’s attack, it had to wait till when I was remotely better.
"Oh. Did you check it?" I asked softly.
Ashley placed the box on the dressing table and turned to look at me, her eyes taking in my appearance. "Yes. To be sure there was no mistake somewhere." She answered and I nodded slowly, not saying anything else.
