Country Store Ch. 09

"Help me get her dressed?" I said.

Tommy and James jumped up and stood next to the couch. I reached down and lifted Tracy up to her feet. I held her limp body next to mine and loosened her towel. It fell off and gathered at her feet. I could feel her wet hair and her soft warm body next to me. I hugged her.

"Put her dress over her head." I said.

Tommy lifted the dress and slipped it over her head. I pulled it over her shoulders.

"Put her arms through." I said.

Tommy and James each grabbed an arm and pulled it through the sleeves. The dress fell down around her body. She looked incredibly cute with her wet hair and the white dress. She lifted her head and opened her eyes.

"Hi sweetie, how do you feel?" I said to her.

"Tired." She whispered.

"We're going home." I said and squeezed her in a tight hug.
