Hawk's empty seat made Feather's eyes tear up and in a moment, she laughed self-deprecatingly at the thought that he left just because she took so long to choose a dress.
How foolish was she?
For the last few days she thought that somehow she had gained Hawk's love again by sending her own Father to beg him to be good to his daughter.
However right then, seeing how he shamefully left her and in this most special time kind of made her lose some self-respect. How far will Hawk make her feel so worthless?
The bouquet she was holding fell on the ground and Feather, without a word, she went to the sofa and sat there herself frustratedly. If only she had been a little early, perhaps things would be a little different and she would not have experienced this humiliation in front of the store's staff who all took pity on her right at that moment. They hated her just minutes ago but seeing how she was stood up made them sympathize with her, they were after all just humans.
