five.

      EVA PUT ON SHORTS AND A LONG PURPLE SHIRT WITH HER FAVORITE PEARL NECKLACE BEFORE GOING DOWN TO THE KITCHEN. There she found Jeremiah cooking something while trying to chase away Steven who looked very interested in what he was cooking.

"Get out!" Jeremiah told him.

"What? Why?" Steven pretended not to understand.

"What are you cooking?" Eva asked, walking over to lean over her friend's shoulder.

"Why does she have the right to approach and not me?" Steven exclaimed.

"Because I know you're going to eat it all!" Jer rolled his eyes before smiling at the brunette. "This is my hangover smoothie. Conrad needs it." he laughed.

"Can you please just hurry up?" they heard his brother who was laying on the couch.

"Just go back to bed, all right?" his younger brother told him while Steven tried to approach again. "All right, seriously, Steven, get out. This is a delicate science and your heavy breathing is gonna break the yolk."

     Louis came in the kitchen with his uniform and Laurel, Caroline, and Belly woke up soon after while Jeremiah was giving his drink to his brother. Belly had a bruise on her forehead, a sign of the nudge she had received at the party. Susannah suddenly rushed into the room with the prom invitation card in her hand.

"Oh my God! Belly is gonna be a debutante!"

"It's really not that big deal." the girl blushed when Suz hugged her.

"Belly? Like my sister? Like that thing right there?" Steven asked.

"Shut up, cretin." her sister shouted back.

"Okay, this is gonna be so much fun!" Susannah exclaimed. "Even more if you do it too, Eva!"

"I don't know, I-"

"Just, listen. There's the tea, the auction, the ball of course, the rehearsal. We could do shopping all together! Having a girl day!"

"That kind of thing really isn't my style." replied Eva. "I'm sorry."

"At least think about it! Please! That would be so great! We could go out, have fun. Please." Susannah insisted, grabbing her hands and giving her a pleading look.

      Eva couldn't help but think that she now understood where Jeremiah got his persuasive gaze.

"Please, I don't want to do this alone." Belly added, also coming to take her hand.

"Please." repeated the Fishers' mother again.

"Okay, okay, fine, I guess I can make an effort." sighed the blonde, shrugging her shoulders.

"Yes!" Belly and Susannah exclaimed in unison as they jumped on her to hug her.

"I can't wait to see that, honestly." Louis said in a mocking tone.

"My little girls, you are going to be so pretty in your white dresses!" Susannah exclaimed. "We have to go shopping to buy everything you need!"

     Eva glanced at Jeremiah and gave him a 'help me' look which made him laugh.

"We have to go." he said to his three colleagues.

"Have a good day, guys. Evy, we'll pick you up at noon to go shopping!" Susannah screamed.

     Eva looked at herself in the mirror. She had to admit that the dress for the ball wasn't that bad. Susannah had chosen a long white dress for her that bared her shoulders and emphasized her waist while being evasive on her legs.
