NaNoWriMo Novel: Ch.4 Help?

“Yeah?â€? I call back, slipping out of my flats.

“Come here for a sec, kay?â€? She answers.

I walk hesitantly into the living room where my sister is surrounded by books in the middle of the floor. “What the…â€?

“I need help.â€? She says in a huff, throwing the book she had been paging through on the ground.

“What are all these?â€? I ask looking around. “And where are the boys?â€?

“The boys are upstairs doing who knows what. And these are wedding dress catalogues.â€? Amber says, gesturing at the many books and magazines around her. “Help me find one? Oh! I saw the perfect one for you.â€?

I wince when she says this and I just stand in the doorway watching her shift through the pile around her.

“Here!â€? She yells excitedly. She looks like a child on Christmas morning. “Hazel, it would just be gorgeous on you! Come look.â€?
