Preparations

Olivia stared pointedly at the dresses in front of her as she tried her best to decide which of the two to pack into the suitcase sitting on the bed in the room behind her. The first one was a simple black dress with beautiful white floral patterns that were designed to draw attention. She usually only wore this whenever she was being dragged by Lisa to some sort of dysfunctional family event that the latter did not really want to go to but had no choice but to attend. That way, most of the attention would be focused on Olivia herself and leaving Lisa out of her family's scrutiny.

The memories made Olivia smile a little as she ran an examining hand down the second dress; a long flowing gown with long billowy sleeves that Lisa had once said made Olivia look like a ghost. This one was the one Olivia preferred on a personal level but with the way the weather was turning warm, it might be too warm to wear something like this considering where they would be going.
