I'm sitting in the parlor reading a book when I hear a knock on the front door. I look up and mark my page throwing my book on the couch and running to the front door

"Aunt Tigris is here" I squeal as I run to the door

Coriolanus grabs my hand before I can make it to the door

"Aunt Tigris isn't styling you today. Someone else is" Coriolanus says as I still pull my hand to go to the door

"Briar Rose stop pulling" Coriolanus says after I keep on pulling on his hand

I stop pulling and my eyes wander around avoiding eye contact with him

"Why?" I ask confused since last time she did both me and Lucy Gray

"Since it is our engagement party Aunt Tigris needs to spend all her time with Lucy Gray so I got another stylist" Coriolanus says keeping my hand in his hand as he opens the door for the stylist

"Hello Senator Coriolanus" The stylist says with a lot of enthusiasm

She has something that is holding a dress in it. Why can't I wear one of the dresses from my closet? I have felt every one of the dresses to make sure they won't make me overstimulated. What if I don't like this dress?

"Hello. Come in" Coriolanus says welcoming the stylist in

The stylist walks in and looks around the house a little bit then looks at me

"You must be Briar Rose! You're such a cutie. I'm Ovid" She says

I keep my eyes towards the ground not wanting to make eye contact

"What do we say to our guest Briar Rose" Coriolanus says squeezing my hand a little bit

I lift my gaze making eye contact with Ovid. She has an oval shaped face, she is slim with skinny legs and she has a pencil skirt on with a white shirt and a suit top with a fancy hat on her head. She also has these cat eyed shaped sunglasses on. Which I don't get since we are inside and she holds herself tall. Her posture is super good. Her body shape is like Barb Azure's in some way. She is willowy but has a bit more confidence to herself than Barb Azure does.

"It's nice to meet you Ovid" I say quietly but just loud enough for her to hear

"Why don't you show Ovid your room so you can get ready" Coriolanus says letting go of my hand and giving me a little push towards my room

"Follow me" I say walking towards my room not making sure if Ovid is behind me

I thought Aunt Tigris was going to dress me. I don't like how what I thought was going to happen changed at the last second or that I wasn't told this before it happened and now I am starting to feel overwhelmed. I just want to go see Lucy Gray

"Ok where do you keep your stockings and your shoes?" Ovid asks closing the door behind her

I go to my closet and I open the door to it and I show Ovid my draw of stockings and my shoe rack that is in my closet. She goes through my drawer picking out a pair of white stockings and light pink buckle shoes. I only have buckles shoes so that is really all there is as a choice, but I have stockings and shoes in every color you could possibly think of. She walks out of my closet putting my shoes on the floor and laying my stockings on my bed and opening the bag up to show a light pink frilly dress on the bottom and a solid top with lace embroidery and lace sleeves that go a little bit past your elbows with a bow in the back of it. It doesn't look comfortable at all it looks like you can feel every seam when you wear the dress and the lace will be itchy on my arms. I really don't want to wear this dress and I am already overwhelmed from the change in stylists
