When Lila Evermore returned to the Evermore estate that evening, there was a change in her which was noticeable by those that knew her closely.
Her mother, Lady Bertha Evermore noticed that Lila was wearing a brightly colored dress. It was a lavender colored dress not the brightest of shades but it still spoke volumes in comparison to the brown, beige, mustard yellow, charcoal and other dull colors she usually preferred.
Her older sister Vivian Evermore noticed that Lila was speaking at the dining table. Granted, she had spoken no more than fifteen words but it was a lot compared to the usual brief 'thank you' and 'good night.'
Michael Evermore, her fourth brother realized that she had smiled to herself. From the moment she sat down at the table to when the meal started, her lips were curved upwards, revealing a dimple that he had never known existed.
