Gazing at her reflection, Hannah realized her usual style was more extravagant. Adopting a more subdued look for Edwin’s graduation ceremony actually suited her well.
“Margaret, you always know what’s best for me.”
Margaret grabbed a hairpin from the table and secured Hannah’s hairstyle.
“It’s not so much that I know you. It’s that you effortlessly pull off these looks. If you stick around, I’d love to take more photos of you. It would be great promotion for me.”
“I’d be happy to help out when I can.”

As he reached her, Edwin couldn’t hide his surprise.
“You…”
Reading his expression, Hannah looked down at her own dress and inquired, “Is something the matter? Have I embarrassed you?”
Edwin shook his head, awed.
“You’ve changed, haven’t you?”
With raised eyebrows, Hannah responded, “Well, I had to stand out somehow for your graduation ceremony, right?”
“Let’s head in. Hold on a second…”
As Edwin prepared to lead Hannah into the hall, he noticed the sticky notes in her hands.
