The gilded lettering over the shop was so elaborate that Dana couldn’t figure out what it said. Regardless, she headed into the shop with a determined stride.

The woman behind the counter paused and smiled as Dana came inside.

The gowns on display took Dana’s breath away. She had the feeling that the bank account and earnings of her time in the human world were about to be passed into one of those dresses.

Dana walked up to the woman and was direct. “I am looking for a dress for the Snowflake Ball.”

The woman winced. “Last minute.”

“I was just asked yesterday. We only met this week.” Dana wanted to smack herself for making excuses for the last-minute nature of the gown shopping.

“Well, in that case, we had better get started.” The brunette with the dancing blue eyes gave her a considering look. “May I make some recommendations?”

“Please. I have no idea where to start.”

The experience began with the attendant getting her shoe size so that appropriate footwear could be matched to the gown.

Dana was tucked into a changing area while the attendant brought dress after dress. Two hours after she had entered the shop, Dana had a long, flat box in her possession and a smaller box with the matching shoes.

The bill was less than she expected. “Excuse me, you undercharged me.”

The woman smiled. “I saw your picture on the news this morning. You did an excellent job of defending that mall worker, and kicking those guys to the curb was a moment that I definitely enjoyed watching. I gave you the shop worker’s discount. Nobody needs to worry about leaving the mall during this season because thugs have decided to go after easy prey.”

“I can’t accept the discount.”

“Too late. I have rung it through.” She smiled brightly. “Merry Christmas.”

Dana wanted to argue, but the woman’s features were politely shuttered. There would be no arguing with her.

“Thank you. Merry Christmas.” She nodded her head and left the shop.

She returned to her car, put the dress and shoes in the back seat and then headed for the nearest drive-thru. She wasn’t fussy about food; she just needed to eat when she got hungry. Her toast had just worn off.

Well, with no work for the rest of the day and a dress to get home, she headed back to her place to hang up her purchase and try to figure out what she should do with the unexpected time.
