The Honor of My Family

Chapter 23

I just sat there thinking about everything. I was thinking about Darcy and how I felt about him. I then said,

"I don't know how I feel about him yet. But he is showing me a new side of himself. So, I am keeping an opened mind."

"At less you are keeping an opened mind." Jane said.

"Yeah I know. He is doing our family a huge favor. So, I thought it was the right thing to do." I told Jane truthfully.

It has been a while since that day. Today all of us ladies are going shopping for dresses. Caroline had invited us to join her and her sister. I thought it was weird. But Georgiana, Lydia, and Kitty really wanted to go. So, I agreed to it. But I am not putting my guard down when I am around her. I don't trust her.

"That last dress looked great on you Elizabeth." Jane said.

"Thanks. But not the one." I said.

"You would probably find it." Caroline said.

"Yeah I know." I said.

We shopped for a bit longer. Everyone found their dresses. But I haven't found my dress yet. We were checking out. I went to pay for the dresses.

"Did you find everything you needed?" The women who owned the shop asked me.

"They did. I haven't found my dress just yet." I told her truthfully.

"What? No one leaves my place empty handed." She told me.

"Well, I must be your first." I told her.

"No. You will not be my first." She said. She then smirked at me. "Follow me."

I looked at everyone. I did as she said. I followed her. She took me to the......
