On the fourth day, he asked me if he could help me.
I felt so embarrassed to need his help to do something that other girls did with ease, but he was so kind about it.
"Here, this colour compliments your eyes."
I stared at the dress, trying to imagine myself in it…
and I burst into tears.
"Did I do something wrong?" Those pretty blue eyes of him widened in surprise, and he reached for me.
I recoiled at his touch. “I-I need to go.”
"Wait," he called, but I was already gone.
