April writing prompt: the color green
Apr. 10th, 2017 03:57 pmAdia had originally bought the green dress to wear at her college graduation. Or rather, her mother had bought it, concerned that her daughter would grab the first drab thing hanging in the store and call it a day. The dress was long-sleeved and without adornment, but the bodice fit her nicely and the satin material added a bit of flair to the A-line hem.
“You look beautiful,” She told her in the dressing room. “Emerald green is a lovely color on you.”
Adia examined herself in the mirror, turning this way and that, the fabric swishing pleasantly against her legs. It did look lovely on her, which was part of the problem. “I don’t know… it’s awfully pricey, Mom, and I’m only going to wear it once.”
“This is my treat, sweetie.” Her mother stood behind her, putting her hands on her shoulders and smiling at her daughter’s reflection. “Besides, you can wear it to parties.”
Adia met her mother’s encouraging gaze in the mirror and smiled weakly. “Sure, Mom… parties.”
