Ishny continued to pick ridiculous dresses for Asha and Allendi until, eventually, Tressian took pity and brought some dresses in while Ishny was out picking her next monstrosity. She selected dark purples for Asha and browns for Allendi, immediately handing them one dress each. Nell suspected that these were the dresses Tressian thought best, and that she’d only brought a selection because that was what she was supposed to do. Asha took one look at the dress in her hand and nodded approvingly, before heading into the changing area.

“Let’s hope this goes a little better, or we’ll be stuck here until the Opening Ceremony is done,” Angela said under her breath, making Nell laugh.

“I think we know where the real talent in this shop lies,” Nell murmured back.

Tressian, working on the adjustments for Nell’s dress at the back of the room, said nothing, but Nell caught the briefest flash of a smile on the girl’s face before she resumed her professional blankness.

There was a shuffling from the direction of the changing room, and Asha poked her head out from behind the curtain.

“Nell, help me out, would you?” she said.

Nell nodded, heading over and slipping inside. Asha had put the dress on, but was holding it up.

“I can’t get the straps untangled,” she said.

“Let me have a look.”

The front of the dress was modest in the bodice, but on the shorter side with the skirt - not short enough to be risqué, falling just above Asha’s knees. At the back, the skirt was fuller, longer, almost down to the floor. Apart from two thin straps over her shoulders and a couple of ties across the middle, there was nothing to the back of the bodice.

“Bear in mind you will have to get Cael to sort this out for you later if you choose this one,” Nell said, tugging the straps loose from the knots they’d got tied in.

“I’m sure he’ll manage,” Asha said. “You should see how complicated some of his formal clothes are.”

“He’s not going to be able to keep his hands off you if you wear this,” Nell said as she clipped the ends of the ties together, adjusting them until they were snug.

Asha’s grin in the mirror was wicked. “That would not be a terrible outcome.”

Nell grinned in response, but a hollow feeling filled her chest. She would never have considered herself lonely - she had work, she had Mikey, and all of this Intergalactic Community stuff to keep her busy - but sometimes it crept up on her. A feeling that her life could be more. If things hadn’t gone the way they had, if she hadn’t… but no. To go down that line of thought was to frame Mikey’s existence as a ‘mistake’, and she would not think of her gorgeous boy that way. Never. He might not have been planned, might not have been what she thought she wanted for herself, but she could never consider him a mistake.

“What do you think?” Asha asked.

“You look gorgeous,” Nell said, fluffing out the skirts until they fell just right.
