In His Refuge

#Chapter44 Lavenders And Gardenias

Ellie took a glance at the time and the clock neared 7 making her quickly prance over to the mirror and put the final piece of jewellery on, her earrings.

Once done, she admired herself in the mirror in that emerald, green knee length dress that accentuated her strawberry blonde hair colour very well.

She had curled her hair, did her make up pink and light and worn silver heels with the dress.

She looked good and she felt good about herself.

She let out a sigh, smoothening her dress down.

Sam was gonna be here any moment to pick her up for their date now.

She had tried to avoid thinking about Jason but he was all that was in her mind as she went through her wardrobe, seeing all the stuff he bought her and then while getting ready she felt as if she was still getting ready for him.

But she did her best to shove it all down. All with in good time.
