"Pretty sure there's a late night store around here somewhere." With her hand still tucked in his, he led them out of the hotel and into the night air. Out on the street, she realized it wasn't that late, the sun had only just gone down. Funny how exhaustion made her feel like it was already midnight. They walked a fair way, her thoughts not on anything in particular...except blood. God, she was hungry.

"Hah." He grinned, nodding at a shopping center up ahead. The car park was half full, indicating the shops were still open and plenty of people were around. She could feed. And buy new clothes. She was shivering in her damp clothes, her jacket offering her no warmth.

He led her into a large department store and headed straight for the women's section.

"Size?" he asked. She told him, following numbly as he flicked through racks and selected three pairs of jeans, a handful of colorful T-shirts, a hooded sweatshirt, a fleece-lined jacket, a dozen pair of socks, knickers and two bras. How he knew the size of her bra had her beat. Arms loaded with the haul, she stood and looked at him.

"We're going to need a shopping cart," he surmised, disappearing and reappearing a moment later pushing a cart. He took the clothes from her and dumped them in.

"Now let's get you fed. We're going to need a dress."

"A dress?" She was so confused. He nodded and began his search among the racks again, this time coming across a gorgeous floral dress with a sweetheart neckline and long hem.

"Go try this on." He thrust it at her. She looked at him blankly. Why would she need to try it on? He knew her size. It would fit.

With a grin at her tired puzzled face, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and faced her in the direction of the dressing room.

"Go try it on. Call the girl in to help you. Feed."

"Oh!" Right. Now she got it. Taking the dress from him, she approached the dressing room attendant.

"One item?" the girl asked.

"Yes." Georgia took the colorful tag and proceeded into the dressing rooms. Stepping into an empty booth, she closed the door behind her and shrugged out of her wet clothes. Unzipping the dress, she slipped it over her head and let it settle against her. It was gorgeous. White with a wildflower pattern all over it. The sleeves reached her elbows and were edged in lace, the hem reached just above her ankles, and the skirt flared as she moved. She reached behind her to do up the zipper when she remembered what he'd said. Feed.

"Excuse me, miss?" She stuck her head out the door and called for the attendant. "Would you be able to give me a hand with the zipper?"

"Of course, ma'am." The young girl appeared at the end of the passageway and gave her a friendly smile. Back in her booth Georgia waited. As soon as the girl reached her, she dragged her inside.
