I sighed in deeply as his warm arms wrapped around my waist. His earthy scent wafted around my head, making my mind buzz. The touch of his skin brought a flush to my cheeks, and my heart beat with pure bliss. Robin. . .
“Evelyn! Oh you lazy child. Get Up!!!!”
I snapped my head up, the sun was pouring into my window. I felt cold fingers shake my shoulder. When I turned, my mother’s face was all I could see.
“Come on! We have a church sermon at the chapel, then tea at the newly weds Mr. and Mrs. Farley and oh dear! I nearly forgot we have to get you a gown for the ball in honor of your friend Christy, my that girl really needs a husband. . .” I let my mother’s ranting fill my ears. She could be so crucial about everything. My mind floated back to my dream. It had seemed so real, my dear Robin had been right there for my taking.
“Evelyn! Did you hear me?” My mother scowles then leaves my room, her head shaking. I breathed deeply, then stood. And using my wire brush I combed out my dark hair.
