After the fashion shop ,we went for some ice cream had some fun and enjoyed ourselves.
But Mary was a little off . It seemed like something was bothering her.
lucky it wasn't me who noticed her mood. Rose also did.
Ladies let's pass through the park....
Aren't you supposed to prepare for dinner
Mary relax it's only 4 and am going at 9 so chill.
We reached the park and sat on the ground near the river and we had a moment of silence.
I started thinking about ,the dinner, how I will look in the dress and what will happen...I also remember last night my birthday on the same park .
Little Patrick and Patrick I just felt my body move thinking about those eyes and how he held me in arms because his hands were on my skin .
I was just glad I never had any sensation because it's been long since , I just pray I stay this way .
On the other hand,Rose was thinking about her case in 2 weeks time the first hearing
Mary . ....tear where just flowing.
Mary called Rose.
