Trinity didn’t come back until late in the afternoon, carrying two large shopping bags. “I went a bit crazy again,” she called out as she threw them on the couch.
I laughed. “What did you buy this time?”
“Oh, you know, just the essentials,” she smirked. “A dress for me, a dress for you, heels, jewelry, and some other stuff. Nothing much “
I raised a brow, grateful but also surprised. Trinity’s Dad spoiled her rotten, and she was able to buy anything she wanted. Technically, i was well off too, Uncle gave me an allowance–but I’d never dare ask for more. Certainly not to buy designer clothes.
“Thank you so much for coming with me tonight.”
Trinity waved me off, pulling out one of the dresses with her free hand. “Sure, no problem,” she said. “This dinner better be amazing because I canceled my plans for this.”
“What plans?” I asked, feeling a bit of guilt.
She lifted her shoulders, still unpacking the bags.“Oh, nothing much–my mate had this dinner thing, and he thought we could spend some more time together, like actually talk about our future for once.”
“Trin-”
“He was very understanding when I told him my socially awkward roommate needed me,” Trinity explained quickly. “He said his little sister is the same, but
honestly, I think he might be a bit socially awkward himself.”

I rolled my eyes, pretending to be offended even though I knew she was right. “Really? Thanks a lot.”
As she bent down to grab something else from her bag, I noticed a faint bite mark on her neck. It was covered with foundation, but I could still see it clearly. I smiled to myself, thinking how lucky she was. Her mate wasn’t wasting any time marking his territory.
“So, were you in class and then went shopping, or were you with your mate all day?” I asked, curious.
Trinity looked up, putting a finger in front of her lips. She then giggled, tossing a dress at me. “Anyway, we’ve got three hours until the dinner, and these clothes aren’t going to put themselves on. So, come on!”
Her energy was contagious, and even with everything on my mind, I couldn’t help but smile. This dinner might not have been my first choice for the evening, but at least Trinity was there to keep things fun.
I got dressed and looked at my reflection, turning/slowly. The velvet dress Trinity had bought fit me perfectly, hugging my body in all the right places. It was knee–length, a deep shade of red–but gorgeous.
“I actually like this dress. It looks good,” I admitted.
“Yes!” Trinity cheered, adjusting her own dress. It was also velvet, but then in blue. “I love the confidence!”
After we were finished, Trinity started doing my hair and makeup, just like she had done for the Starlight Festival. She curled my hair into beautiful waves.

turned, annoyed by the question. “It wasn’t just me. Nate was there, and my brother too-
Wait, you’ve got a brother that goes to this school?”
nodded Yeah, Did I never mention it?”
Trinity shook her head, curling another section of my hair. “We get along so well, but we barely know anything about each other, she noted. “But don’t try to change the subject. I can see that glow on your face, so I know something happened.”
