“I blanch. Zel will not be wed within the year. No. She must not leave me. This dress-to-be is perfect. Why has the cleark tainted my gift with her mundane talk of marriage? I am filled with elation at the thought of Zel’s beauty in this dress and dread at the thought that anyone other than me should appreciate that beauty. The contradictory emotions merge hatefully, indiscreetly, so that I cannot pick them apart.” --Zel by Donna Jo Napoli
