    “Yes, Mother!”901c04ce0c4f3752

    From the moment 74081b0e22 I mentioned the 912155c8e2 embroidery lesson, Liliana’s bee5186f41 expression completely changed dd70f88031 from what it d90ac94ad6 was earlier in 2ce13b8431 the morning.0da4fc85f30350ca

    Regretting that I’d even brought 9ce599c812 up the idea of bridal cf4f9c585a lessons, I sighed internally, but 5fe4fd3e49 it was too late to 7f5e3e8cde do anything about it.3c75e9fc2286c195
