"Uh-huh, Gilbert nodded hesitantly. Just similar? "It's not just similar!" Caroline chuckled, "This is that dress." Then, she shared what happened with Sherilyn earlier that day.
"Sherilyn is just amazing, you know? I barely mentioned liking the dress, and she insisted I take it." Sherilyn gave up her dress? Gilbert's gaze narrowed slightly. What was Sherlyn wearing then? Wait, where was Sherilyn? Looking up, Gilbert scanned the hall once more, Caroline noticed and her smile faded a bit. "Looking for Sherilyn? I haven't seen her; she probably hasn't arrived yet." Hasn't arrived? Gilbert glanced at his watch, his brow furrowing "Then you wait here for her." gave a Caroline sheepish smile, “I should head over to your brother; if he doesn't seein a while, he'll start fuming.” "Alright."

"Hello? "Sherilyn." Gilbert massaged his temple. "Where are you? It's snowing outside; are you stuck in traffic?" "Ah?" Sherilyn paused, apologetically saying, "I'm so sorry, I forgot to tell you... I can't make it to the party tonight." "Why?" "Well," Sherilyn explained, "I ran into Caroline today while trying on the dress. She really liked it, so I let her have it. I have nothing else suitable to wear, and I can't just show up in workout geat, can I? That would embarrass you, right?" What? Gilbert was stunned. He knew there was more to the dress situation! So, Sherilyn wasn't coming after all? He had a hunch and blurted out, "Is it that you don't want to come? Don't want to be seen within public?" Hit the nail on the head! Sherilyn's intentions were clear as day.
But she wouldn't admit it.
"Of course not," Sherilyn replied evasively, laughing, "Didn't you see Caroline? If you saw what she's wearing, you'd know I'm telling the truth..." *Sherilyn!" Gilbert's tone was sharp, filled with anger.
