Emberly Two weeks have already passed and it’s the night of my engagement party to Asher. I have dreaded this day for days wishing something would happen to cancel it, I had imagined the worst case scenario. Each day I watched mother made plans, seating arrangements, and Dad made several calls to make sure that all his guests were present to watch his daughter. Mother had insisted on me wearing a dress that Asher had chosen for me among the various gifts his family had ravished me with, I on the other hand didn’t go along with that feeling. There was barely enough room in my closet for the gifts anymore, it felt suffocating to see them each time. I had gone shopping earlier with Sal where I picked a black dress that peeked my attention. It was strapless dress with a white fur scarf
