Brook and the girls get to the upstairs boutique and love the intimate feel of the place.
Brook: Alrightie, here we are...just look around girls and pick one outfit you really like and try it on. We’ll see how it fits.
Everly goes straight to the kids’ section and finds more than one she likes!
Eve: Mom, I like the colors of this one, can I try on another one, please pleeeaase?
Brooklyn gasped as her breath got choked up in her throat. She couldn’t believe Everly just called her Mom!
Eve didn’t realize she’d said it until she heard the word echo inside her own head. She quickly glanced at Eden and Eden was beyond thrilled, she had already grabbed Brook’s arm for a squeeze.
With a lump in her throat, Brook responded joyfully: For that wonderful A you brought home - okay...pick out one more!
Eve went into the small dressing room and felt a tremendous amount of guilt. She never wants to forget her mother, and as the years passed since her death, it’s getting harder to remember everything about her. And in that tiny moment, she felt like she had completely forgotten her. But just as fast as that thought came, it went away. Eden has said to her many times that her Mom and Grandma are both angels now, and they sent Brooklyn here to watch after them.
Everly shows them her 2nd favorite outfit, with a confidence she’s never felt before! She feels like she’s got a Mom and a Dad now.
As Brook wiped away her watery eyes, she and Eden both agreed: You look like a big girl, Eve!
Well, you can go change back into your clothes. We got you all set!
