Accepting the gift with trembling hands, she looks up to see Spree's awkward face ~ "It's alright, Spree. We have our pasts, and it always comes back to haunt us..." ~ Pausing, she takes a deep breath and continues ~ "Your gift means a lot to me, and I hope one day I shall be able to give you one in return." ~ Glancing at Deiter standing there, she whispers ~ "You've got a prize catch yourself."
She studies the book further and turns to Spree again ~ "I'd like to accept your offer to handle the rest of the preparations... I'm most anxious to start using this book right away." ~ Her right hand reaches to hold Spree's left elbow and she casts her another grateful smile ~
"Thank you, once again, Spree. I... I hope one day, we will be able to know each other better... and become closer friends..." ~ She lowers her line of vision, turns and walks off to the adjacent room with both the dress and book.
