Well, Mary, it isn't my place to say. Why don't you ask him what's wrong? He's been in bed all day, and he has yet to eat any of the meals I've prepared. I understand, but he's a man, and I'm not gonna break my brother's trust.

Amber convinced Karlie to get up out of bed, have a shower, and get dressed, and take her into town. Even though she was still so sad, she knew she had to be stronger than what her heart was feeling. She cannot allow her family to worry. This is what she was raised for - duty and honor. She got dressed, and the car took them into town. "What do you want to do, Amber?" "Well, let's go have dinner and then catch a movie, shall we?"
"Ok, as long as you don't want to see that new movie, 'The Perfect Love.'" "Oh no, I wouldn't do that to you." Amber smiles.

Like colors, bridesmaid dresses, maid of honor colors.
