I tried it on, and it was beautiful, a blend of pure innocence and subtle sensuality,
I didn't feel much about it, but everyone around me kept saying how gorgeous I looked. Even Jack remarked, "My daughter is like a fairy on Earth."

Meanwhile, by had dragged Elene back to her room and locked the door before she let go of her
Flene started trying. "Mom, why didn't you let me finish? Evelyn is just a stepping stone. Why are you all propping her up so much and letting her lord over me like this?"
