Alexis was suddenly so happy she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. [color=f6989d]"Oh thank you! You have no idea how much this means to me." [/color]

The next morning the carriages took them to the train and when they arrived in the city they were met at the station by a woman in a pretty blue day dress with gorgeous red hair and an extraordinary amount of bosom showing. [color=f6989d]"Aunt Jean?"[/color] Alexis said slightly in shock.

[color=f7941d]"Alexis! Oh my you look so much like your mother, so beautiful!"[/color] Alexis was a child the last time she had seen her and she remembered her very differently. She blushed at the compliment.

[color=f6989d]"Aunt Jean, your dress..."[/color]

[color=f7941d]"Oh I know isn't it lovely! I had several in this style made."[/color] She melodiously sang out. A forced smile was splayed across Alexis' lips.

Alexis didn't know what to say. She grabbed Elias' arm in hers both reminding him she was there and a little possessively. Her Aunt Jean seemed to be on the prowl and she wasn't sure Elias was safe. She mumbled to Elias as they followed her aunt who was swishing her way through the crowds easily. [color=f6989d]"I'm not sure I can do this Elias. If I have to publicly embarrass myself ....."[/color] Alexis shook her head. [color=f6989d]"I will."[/color]
