Shopping with a sister

"So, what's the reason?" I crossed my hands on my chest, very unhappy that Catherine is drunk. It's too little time left for the upcoming event, the preparations for which have started in Aiden's office. Perhaps, this time, I will be forced to make the dress on my own. Thanks, Esme is here, maybe together we'll make the dresses without Catherine's help. However, she can check the dress tomorrow, when she will feel better. 

"It's Bella's birthday and…" Suddenly, Catherine started to hiccup and covered her mouth with a hand. I sighed, then rubbed the bridge of my nose.

"If that's so, you better have a sleep, and we will celebrate her birthday when you'll be sober." I said, then grabbed Catherine's hand and led her to her house, then stopped in the doorway and looked at Esmé, "Can you take care of Bella? Her house is next to this one."
