"Gosh! i cant believe you play. Thats so awesome but ill be rooting for you on gamedays!" she said smiling at Tay.
Tay wanted to show her the sketch she made of her wedding dress to which Amber bounced up and came over to them sitting next to Tay.
"Oh Tay, thats so pretty! You know, my mom knows some people at various material plants so if you need some help getting materials to make it just let me know. She can get some real high end stuff cheap!" she said giddly.
"That might be a great idea Tay. Although im sure you can afford anything getting something cheaper is always good, plus it helps out the lower class a little bit".
He didnt mind that Tay's family was well off but he and his family always did try to help those who didnt or couldnt afford certain things. Many of the people of Ashbourne worked very hard and sometimes some of the families struggled when they came back from the seasons without making much. It was one of things that drove the Wattsfay's out of the village to begin with. But they never came back to help out in the end and that still bothered Draven.
He knew Tay and her family had not part in that but it would be nice if they could take the time to help those in need. This is why his parents really appreciated Anna and Richard's help with the shop. He continued to watch Tay and Amber smile over the sketches. He put his earbuds in and finished listening to the UKJ cover of Cat Stevens "Cats in the Cradle". It was a pretty song and always made him tear up because he knew how much his dad wanted him to be his successor and be a great man. And then he thought about Sven and his dad Hadrian listening to the lyric,
He thought of how Hadrian may have not said he loved him before Sven died and Draven's eyes began to tear up. Maybe someday Tay would be able to use her power to create a sphere for Hadrian. Just so he could say his goodbyes to Sven and Ellyn. He would really love something like that. Soon the Sanctuary cover of "White Rabbit" came on and he shook off the sadness from before and began nodding his head again.
Tay smiled at Amber- "
Yeah- that would be really, really kind of you Amber! I'd love to see the material. I mean- it has to be special- but i'm sure that i'll find something perfect with your help." she said with a big smile. "
And for that skirt- I'm gonna need a lot of it!" she giggled- Suddenly she heard her phone go off- she found it in her bag and answered the call.
"
Hey... Oh, hello sweetie. How are you?...Oh that's good! Yeah, i'm going to school... Yeah... I know, it's... But, you can still do your magic! Uh-huh... Oh you can show me that when I see you at Christmas!... Yeah, I do... You'll meet him too! I promise... Okay... Bye honey. You too!.. Hey Auntie Julia- Yeah, she does.... has she been getting help with that? Oh, that's good... Oh, it's alright... I... I really think she's making progress... Yeah, I will... yeah, he is... Okay, Okay- bye!" she clicked off the call and put away her phone, wiping a tear from her cheek.
"
My... youngest cousin... she... she's got this... disease, I don't really know what it is... she's had it since she was a baby- like she's just not well. I have to look after her sometimes, but she was feeling pretty bad this summer, you would have met her otherwise." Tay said, nodding her head slightly and smiling.
"
Eughh, i'm so pathetic!" she laughed, wiping away her tears and laughing at herself. She leant against Draven and sighed.
