An Unacceptable Arrangement
“They stood there silently, staring at their beautiful daughter in her wedding finery.
Upon seeing them Cassandra cried, “Father, I must speak with you before - " Her father hushed her and spoke loudly, as if he were offering a toast at a formal dinner. “And here is our precious daughter, ready for her wedding day. Sweetheart, you look like a true princess!” Her mother smiled and dabbed at the corner of her eye.
Cassandra snarled. “Father, please a word...”
she begged. “It’s not too late.”
At th...e mention of the time, the room came to life. Her father glanced at his pocket watch and exclaimed, then he and her mother stepped forward and held her by the upper arms, escorting her out of the room. The lady’s maids followed behind, holding up the back of her skirts. She was bustled down the hallway, down the stairs and then out to the waiting carriages. Her slippers barely touched the ground. A few of the servants had lined up to see her go, all of them smiling happily.
