"Okay, let's not talk about it. When will you finish filming today?" Arianna asked, changing the subject.
"It's going to take a while!" Brittany had wasted a lot of time, and her mood affected her shooting. Who knew how long it would take? She asked, "Why?"
Arianna looked around, stood up, and patted her hands. "It's nothing. I'll wait for your shoot to end, then let's go shopping."
Shop? Brittany shook her head. "I'm not in the mood to shop!"
They say that the best way to treat a woman's pain was to shop, but her beloved was getting married, and she was not the bride. No amount of retail therapy could make her feel better.
"Whether or not you’re in the mood, you still have to pick a gift, right?"
"Gift?" Blinking, Brittany did not understand what she meant.
Looking at her blank face, Arianna shook her head. "Don't tell me you forget about shopping for the New Year. Even if you don't want to visit relatives and friends, you've decided not to visit the Russell family this year?"
"..."
Brittany would have forgotten if Arianna had not reminded her.
Every year, she would visit the Russells. While Alexander's relationship with the Russells was strained at best, she remained convinced that he still regarded them his family. If Brittany visited them more frequently, she would develop stronger relationships with them. First, the Russells would have to accept her, and then Alexander would come around and realize Brittany was the best person for him.
