Chapter 11
“Are you ready?” I heard May say just outside my door. Beyond her voice were many others, all filled with excitement for the dance.
I stared at myself in the mirror. My long hair was down and straight as always. I wish I could’ve worn it up, as it would’ve made the flattering neckline of May’s red dress more noticeable, but I didn’t dare risk my bite marks being seen. I did, however, slide a gold headband just past my forehead. It would have to do.
I opened the door. “Ready as I’ll ever be.”
“That dress looks amazing on you! Consider it yours.”
“Thanks, but I’m sure it looks better on you.” I glanced down at her tea-length, black lacy dress. “Is that new?”
“It is. My mom sent it to me just for this occasion.”
“It’s beautiful. You’re going to break some hearts tonight.”
