[While it has been a few months since their much needed talk, Jill has been showing quite a bit of restraint. There's something to be spoken of about being told you're still wanted, still very much loved in a way she never expected to be loved, that soothes the soul and hushes any immediate worries.
But she is just a human and cracks in her patience are inevitable. Luckily, she's quiet about her excitement over the future. The problem is that she doesn't know if said future is near or far, later rather than sooner. It makes things like the bridal catalog propped up in her lap difficult to ignore and after denying herself the opportunity to flip through it for a long minute or two, she finally caves.
First she looks at all the ads for the local florists, ones that have special discounts on bridal bouquets and other decorations, but her attention is mostly paid to the dress section. There are so many gowns, so many different designs—low collars, high collars, short and long skirts—that it should be overwhelming. Yet Jill is sighing wistfully as she turns the pages, feeling like with Clive's deep dislike of social events, there's probably not much point in dreaming of the perfect dress.]
