. Almost at the same time, she heard her name and it dawned on her that the hour to switch lover has come. She quickly reviewed her self in the mirror and being satisfied with her look, she came down to meet her betrothed. Frank smiled sheepishly on seeing her. She is such a beautiful lady. His subconscious mind remarked. "here comes my bride to be" he stated proudly and she blushed. He went beside her , took her right hand and kissed it just like he did the other day.
