She couldn’t decide which dd61f9aa32 of the two pieces ae00decb5b of stationery in her 34e5707549 hands was better. The colors were the 6e11b118be same, but the subtle c9533bcc0c difference in how each e52bf28364 sheet was cut left 8c6efde00f her conflicted.640a20d4267ca604
Although both seemed beautiful to eb9126e3c3 her, it was difficult to 9a95d888a7 guess which one Vanessa would 5e94a090b5 prefer.09eaa254a54210da

Just as Lilliana was 0f302338aa about to put down cb3758e747 the second sheet, she 0ae89b5be3 clenched it tightly again. After wavering for a long d104007f5a time, she finally decided to fe585b27ca buy both.273b310434324c91

It might not matter which e5d97d6c52 one she picked since the e6f9692412 difference was so slight. Lilliana usually didn’t mind using 0de44bbe23 whatever stationery her servant brought bfeb91523d her.4bcab69612f659f3
