After The Dinner Party

19 layers of lipstick

Soundtrack-(Duvet-Boa)

That night Roberts mother held a Dinner party, and honestly, I talked to Hattie and decided to let Susan have the spotlight for the night. So we could help her make a move on Cabot. Or at-least hint to him that he should make a move. Or something. Hattie warned me that Cabot wasn't the most reliable when with women, but Susan had faith in him and I trust her judgment.
Me, Susan and Hattie stood in the street all day talking in our matching dresses. We didn't do any spying that afternoon, we just discussed Andrea. How mysterious she was. I hate Andrea.
Hattie agreed with me to help Susan, and we told Susan we would help her get ready for the party. It wasn't a planned party or anything, just something Roberts mother threw together. Which is exactly why I didn't want to go. I didn't have any interest in having to see Andrea and Robert together all happy and...spelled.
Ugh ew-ew-ew.
Susan takes forever getting ready, she cried atleast four times over a dress. Saying she looked bloated and that he wouldn't date a woman with a large waist. We respectfully told her to shut up, she was so hard on herself.
Hattie's carriage arrived at the door.
"Hattie you're carriage! I'm going too!" Cabot yelled from downstairs.
Susan looked scared, "no no no I won't have time to freshen up my makeup before I see him."
"You just did your makeup Susan you look fine." I said.
"You have atleast 19 layers of lipstick on and forty pounds of powder, no freshening needed." Hattie said, opening the door with her hands on Susan's shoulders and walking her to the top of the steps.
I followed.
She stood at the top of the steps and stared at Cabot until he noticed her.
"Oh hi Suzanna." Said Cabot.
"Suzanna?" She asked, laughing.
"Su-su-Susan-that's right, right?" He asked.
"Yeah it's Susan, not Suzanna."
Hattie was giving Cabot a look.
"Well let's go, we're going to be late and I wanna meet Roberts new girl."
My heart sunk.
Cabot held the door for Susan and Hattie and then asked to talk to me for a minute outside the front door. Susan and Hattie waited in the carriage.
"Uhm, you're Roberts, old girl..right?"
I paused, old girl? Really?
"I suppose so." I said.
"What even happened? You two were love birds one day and then the next Robert is telling me that he doesn't remeber who you are and is confused why even is talking about you to him."
"Cabot, do you remember anything about the day before he forgot?"
"The day before he forgot? Hmm, oh, yeah, I remember. He said Andrea wanted your hat, Robert explained to his mother that it was yours and Andrea overheard and said she wanted to borrow the hat. And then the next day he forgot you existed."
"The hat!! That makes sense!!" I said happily, figuring out what Andrea did.
Susan stared at me from the carriage with a betrayed look in her eyes.
Oh no.
What does she think is going on.
