Chapter 36

"Taylor, I didn't get the ring myself. Marco did, but he did not provide me with a receipt. Forget about it. We'll go to the pawnshop instead." 

"We?" Taylor inquired. Jessie shrugged. "Okay, OK. I'll prepare myself. We leave at 12 p.m. When you've finished arranging the room, come to the dinner table." Taylor went to the door and looked around. She'd messed the room up with her clothes. 

Jessie had startled her awake with a loud noise earlier. Taylor hasn't been able to sleep properly since Jessie found out she got the job. She'd gone to the hairdresser with Jessie the day before to get a bang and change her hair color to blonde. Jessie had advised her to change her hair as well, but Taylor preferred her black hair. 

When Jessie spent a lot of money on her nails, hair, and makeup, she didn't think about her clothing. She'd told Taylor that she had a feeling that something positive would happen when the performance ended.
