Tracey took the invitation card, found it was really well- designed. A man hugged a woman in love, European patterns surrounded their names.
Tracey's memory went back to years ago when her design talent began coming to the fore.
One day in the afternoon, cicada's chirping was lively in the air. Tracey sat by the side of the classroom, the breeze came in and flipped her bang over gently.
She drew something on the paper. Sean suddenly ran behind her back, asked loudly, "What are you drawing?"
"Ah, you scared me." Tracey hurriedly covered her painting.
Followed by was the teenager's joyful fighting. Finally, Sean saw Tracey's work, it was a cover of the invitation card, a man hugged a woman in love.
There were letters S and X above them, which were written in an engraved form. Sean smiled happily and said, "Woo-hoo, Tracey, you're designing our wedding invitation now?'¹
"It's not an invitation! I'm just... drawing randomly. Give it back to me."
"Well, this is the invitation for my wedding.”
Tracey could still hear the happy laughter of them. The invitation in her hand was similar to what she designed, but the letters on it had been changed to
Rachel’s name.
Tracey returned from memory, "Congratulations, I will definitely send my congratulations to you."
Rachel planned to stimulate Tracey with this invitation, but she didn't succeed. No sadness at all in Tracey's eyes, just a trace of complexity.
She sighed about time and things that became different. In a blink of an eye, so many years had passed. Tracey used to think that she would spend the rest of her life with Sean, but now he had been accompanied by another woman.
Another man also had lived in Tracey’s heart as well and Sean’s figure was fading little by little. Sure enough, time was the best cure for all wounds.
"If I can get your blessings, I will be happy. You must come tomorrow. I have prepared the bridesmaid dress for you."
Rachel’s words shocked Tracey and Sean a lot. "Bridesmaid?" Tracey never knew that her relationship with Rachel was good enough to be her bridesmaid.
Sean was even more awkward. He definitely knew Rachel’s mind that she had been trying to use all tricks to disgust Tracey.
If Tracey refused, wouldn't it prove that she was scared? If she was scared, she was equal to be defeated by Rachel.
But If Tracey agreed, she would have to witness their wedding, which was also a kind of harm to her. “How could Rachel be so vicious?" Sean thought.
"Tracey, we are best friends since high school. You will agree to my request, won't you? We have promised each other to be the bridesmaid for whoever marries first. Don’t you remember?”
I am sorry, I am just excited and I have informed our classmates of this news! They knew that you are going to be my bridesmaid, they are so happy! I have got your dress ready."
Afraid that Tracey would refuse, Rachel proactively spread this news and threatened Tracey with it. Of course, Tracey was clear about this woman's head too.
However, in the entire of Rachel's plan, the most important part she had missed was that Tracey no longer loved Sean. Therefore, Tracey was in no scare.
"I'd love to, I have never been a bridesmaid. Rachel, you are really thoughtful, I didn’t expect the dress was ready."
