decided to let it be for now, afterall, everything goes and with time, all the answers would become clearer. When she stepped out and after drying herself, she walked to a small duffel bag she hadn't seen there earlier, and on opening it, she smiled, thanking Kathleen under her breath as she found a few clothes in it, she picked one out, it was a short milk maid gown that looked like it would hug all the right places, a sad smile making it's way to her face when she remembers how Liam used to get her dresses like these, complimenting her body and never missing a chance to dote on her. She shook her head, getting rid of those thoughts and quickly pulling the dress on after she'd worn some underwear.
