A new normal seemed to settle around Risa. The world seemed to open up wide and invite her to join in. Her natural curiosity made every day an adventure in discovery. Making trips to town got easier, especially if she was with Samson. People tended to be less intrusive when he was with her. Though Samson was never overly demonstrative towards Risa in public, she felt the cloak of protectiveness he projected toward anyone who approached her.

On one of her trips to town with her dad, Risa impulsively bought a few pieces of casual clothing from Target and Wal-Mart. Her father teased her about her addiction to those two stores. Risa loved the one-stop shopping experience. You could get groceries, clothing, and even furniture in one store. She ended up getting a few pair of jeans, Capri pants and khakis that fit her small frame. She also found several tops that ranged from empire-wasted baby doll tops to fitted T-shirts with different length sleeves. She also picked up several cute and casual sandals and slip-ons that were comfortable and functional.

Her last purchases were more personal. Risa blushed, and her imagination ran wild as she chose various delicate lace and silk underwear in a multitude of colors. Shivers running up her spine, Risa also picked out several cute pajama sets with Samson in mind. She even looked at bathing suits, but she was still too sensitive about people seeing her back for her to wear something so revealing in front of others.

The only blight of the day was when another customer accidentally brushed up against her when she was trying to find something on another rack. Risa froze in terror as an overwhelming feeling of dread pored through her body. Both her father and Jose had seen her fright, but the customer was long gone by the time they reached her side. Risa felt so embarrassed by her irrational reaction that she lied and said she was fine. She told her therapist about it later, and they worked on tools Risa could use to overcome these feelings.

The next morning, Risa had modeled a few of her purchases for Samson. He had stared at her in open admiration and said she looked beautiful, but he didn’t overreact. He just seemed happy that she got what she wanted. Risa loved the fact that he somehow knew what a huge step this was for her, but that he didn’t make a big deal out of it.

With a little more confidence, Risa began visiting other stores in town. She needed additional art supplies, and her dad took her to a unique little shop that seemed to cater to the artistic community of Dalton. Who knew? Samson had come along and was next door in the hardware store.

Risa found everything she wanted. She then came across an expensive airbrush kit and paints that went with it. She impulsively decided to buy it and several bottles of paint as well. She then added a few stretch canvases and even a few blank T-shirts to her cart.
