Now And Always~ part 2

ch14 trying on her dress, again

After the day in the gardens with the girls, she sets them down for the afternoon naps and then heads off to her crafting room. She sets to working on a small pile of flowers, laying out various styles to form into crowns of flowers and small tidbits to pin in her hair as well.

She plays around until she finally decides what will work and sets to wrap them up in her handiwork designs. Humming to herself as she goes about her work.
Once she finishes the girls' head pieces, she sets them aside to keep safe before turning to work on her own.
Still humming along, not realizing she is now humming their song from their day, 'kindle my heart', she finally finishes the touches on hers. She walks over to the mirror in the room, setting it carefully on her head. A simple adjustment, then she smiles as she looks upon her work reflecting back at her. "Perfect," she whispers and then spins around to head off to their bedroom.
She stands before the closet door, and swings the double doors open swiftly. She runs her fingers slowly along the clothing until she comes to one item in her quest. Her wedding dress. A slight smirk crossing her lips playfully as she slips her fingers around the hanger and pulls the cream colored dress out.

Stripping out of her clothing, she carefully slips into her dress. Once on her slender body, she zips it up and heads over to the antique mirror Elijah had brought home from her from his families estate.
She smoothed out the skirt as she looks upon herself in the mirror.
She was surprised that it still fit just as it did that blessed day a year ago.
She adjusts the the crown of flowers as she looks in the mirror. Tilting her head, she then gives a slight nod of approval for herself.
She stands before the mirror a while longer, softly swaying back and forth, listening to the soft swish the fabric made as she moved.
