Always

Chapter 3

 "So Kristin is quite a pretty girl, eh Dan?" Rory smirked.

 Daniel rolled his eyes. "She is. I kinda feel bad for her. Having such a horrible brother..." 

 "Yea...That is sad." Don agreed. 

 "I hope my grandparents and I can help her...I know they'll want to for sure." Daniel remarked. 

 "Don't worry! I'm sure you'll be able to. If anyone can help her, you can, bro." Dennis smiled at him. 

 "Thanks, dude. Speaking of which, I think I should call grandma and grandpa." Daniel replied, taking his phone out of his pocket. "Just give me a sec, guys." 

 "No problem! Take your time." Dennis told him. 

 Daniel nodded and called his grandfather. 

 "Hi, Dan!" his grandfather's voice came over the speaker. 

 "Hey, grandpa." the young man smiled. 

 "How was your trip, son? Did you arrive safe?" 

 "It was good. I did arrive safely. I was actually calling to tell you something important." 

 "Really? What is it?" his grandfather asked.

  "Well, when I got here, I took a walk with my friends and, I found this girl- " 

 "Really? Is she pretty? What is she like?" his grandfather interrupted. 

 Daniel chuckled. "I just met her, granddad. But she seems nice. And she is beautiful. Her name is Kristin. She's mute, though." 

 "Mute? Oh my...Tell me more, Daniel. How did you meet her?" 

 "Well, my friends and I were walking by some houses when I saw her about to get hit by her brother, who was standing over her. I jumped in between them and stopped him before he could hit her." 

  "Her brother?? Oh, goodness.." his grandfather exclaimed, his eyes wide.

 "I know...I kinda want to give him a piece of my mind, but I promised her I wouldn't. She needs our help, granddad. I was hoping we could help her." Daniel stated.

 "I see. Well, your grandmother and I would be more than willing to help." 

 "Thanks, grandpa. Anyways, I'll tell you more about it when I see you. I gotta go." 

 "Alright, son. Goodnight." 

 Daniel smiled. "Night, grandpa. Tell grandma I said goodnight." 

 "I will." 

 Kristin stood in the bedroom with the triplets. 

 "Ok, so, we are dressing you up for dinner. I did make something special, knowing Daniel was coming, but I had no idea how special today would be!" Rachel exclaimed. Kristin smiled shyly. "Now, just sit here and I'll do your hair. Lisa, can you go find a dress in your closet or something?" 

 "Yea! She looks a little smaller than me. I think I have a couple dresses that don't fit anymore." she nodded, walking over to the closet.

 "I'll find some shoes. Have you worn heels before, Kristin?" Dinah asked the girl. She shook her head no and Dinah nodded. "I see. Well, I'll figure something out. First, let's see if my shoe fits you." She knelt down and slipped her shoe on the girl. "A little big...I think we need a size or two down..." Dinah mused. 

 "I'm a size down from you. Try mine." Rachel offered, taking off her sandal. 

 Dinah nodded and smiled, slipping the sandal on Kristin's foot. "I was right. It needs to be one size down from yours, Rach. Lisa's shoes definitely won't work. She's a size above me." Dinah frowned. 

 "Why don't we slip some tissues or something in Rachel's shoes?" Lisa suggested, coming back with a couple dresses. 

 "Sounds like a good idea. Now let's see those dresses!" 

 The first dress, was just above the knee and black with sleeves that went just past her elbow. Dinah and Rachel frowned and shook their heads. Lisa nodded and held up the second dress. This, was a long, light blue dress with short, puffed sleeves.

 "I really don't think this one will suit her." Dinah stated, shaking her head. 

 "Well, I really don't have any other dresses, Dinah. We don't have much choice." Lisa remarked.

 Kristin glanced behind Lisa at a dress that was thrown on the bed. She pointed to it, trying to get the girls' attention. 

 "Kristin, is something wrong? Do you see a dress you like?" Rachel asked.

 Kristin nodded and walked over to the dress. She picked it up and smiled. 

 "Well, I didn't think that dress would fit, that's why I didn't show it to you. But, you can try it on if you want. I think it'd suit you." Lisa told her. Kristin nodded. 

 "Lisa, I think she found a dress." Dinah smiled at the girl.

 "Well, alright. I hope it fits." Lisa remarked. 

 Kristin nodded again and went to try on the dress. It was white with light pink flowers all over. It also had short sleeves with ruffles at the end. According to the size, it should've been too big for her. But, when she came out, it fit perfectly. 

 "Oh, Kristin! You look stunning!" Rachel exclaimed.

 "I guess that dress is just cut a different way than other clothes that size." Lisa stated, nodding with a smile at the mute girl.

 "I think you have your dress," Dinah replied. Kristin smiled at the triplets. "Now, let's finish getting you ready!" Kristin nodded and sat down while Rachel finished doing her hair. Meanwhile, Lisa and Dinah looked through Rachel's shoes.

 "What about these?" Lisa suggested, holding up a pair of white shoes with a slight wedged heel. 

 "She's never worn heels, Lis. If she's never worn heels, I doubt she's worn wedges. I think we should start her off simple. Besides, I don't think we should go too white. I'm thinking, pale pink." Dinah told her sister. 

 "Do I have pale pink shoes?" Rachel asked, glancing at the two. 

 "You wore pale pink flats to my bridle shower, Rach. You just haven't worn them since." Dinah answered.

 "I think I do remember that...Anyways, pale pink would look lovely with the dress."

 "Well, we can try it. I still say white." Lisa responded, looking for the shoes. 

 "It would be too white, Lis! We can't go too white. Well, we could, but it'd look weird."

 "You might be right, Dinah...Well, let's find out if pale pink is the way to go. I found them right here." Lisa held up a pair of pale pink flats.

 Dinah stuffed them with tissues and slipped them on Kristin's feet. "Perfect." she smiled. 

 Kristin looked down and smiled. She smiled and nodded her thanks to the three young women. 

 "Let's go show Daniel and the others!" Lisa declared excitedly. Her sisters nodded and led Kristin out of the room.
