When I walked downstairs, wearing the outfit for tonight, I got some rather mixed reactions from the people who saw me in it. My aunt and my sister liked it, my brother and cousin did not like it, that fact was evident in how Danny followed the lead of his older sibling, and snickered about how I looked out of place in a dress.

Scott was used to seeing me in a different style of clothing, he could readily accept that things had to change for me, he would rather not have to do such a thing right now. I doubt he was gonna do such a thing before tonight, so I did the only thing that popped into my mind, rather than try and show that my brother was less mature than I was, I did a total reverse of that, I ran upstairs, a slight trace of tears welling up in my eyes, just to be away from someone who hated the new me.

When I had made it to the top of the stairs, I heard my brother and cousin laughing at the way that I had behaved. That only made me feel worse. What I didn't think about was the fact that someone else was gonna take care of the matter, actually, it was more than one person, it was going to be two people, my aunt, and the governess, who did what they could to get Scott to see how much I was hurt by his reaction to the sight of me in a dress.
