Chapter 4
Maxine bit her lip as she eyed her reflection in the mirror. The dress was scarlet. That was the first problem. The second was it was strapless.
Maxine had never worn a strapless dress before. Wearing one now, she feltâ¦exposed. And shockingly sexy! The dress was of much higher quality than anything sheâd ever owned. There wasnât a price tag, but the designer label told her that the dress had costâ¦well, she couldnât imagine how much. But it was a lot!
So she felt exposed andâ¦sexy and shocked at how comfortable a dress like this could be. Shouldnât it pinch? Shouldnât it feel as if it were about to hit the floor?
What would Dash think of her in this dress? Maxine turned to see herself from the side, then from the back. Good grief, was that really her? She was so glamorous! Maxine hadnât felt glamorous ever in her life! Sheâd felt pretty when sheâ¦okay, she hadnât felt pretty in a long time. Probably not since before her parents had been killed. Back when sheâd worked at her appearance with makeup and hair products.
Sighing, Maxine turned away from the mirror, shaking her head. She wasnât here to feel glamorous. Marni needed to be warned, she needed help. A murder charge was hanging over her sisterâs head and Maxine was admiring herself in the mirror! How vain was that?
The heels were surprisingly comfortable, given the fact that she hadnât worn anything with heels sinceâ¦high school? Maybe even longer than that.
Sheâd pulled her hair back into a simple French twist. And makeup? Sheâd added a touch of mascara and lipstick, but that was all she had brought in her travel case. She rarely wore makeup, using it only for important meetings. Tonightâs eventâ¦a gala wasnât a meeting, but it was important. If Dash thought that Marni might be there, then Maxine would summon the courage to attend.
A knock on the door reminded her that time was continuing onward. It was show time, in more ways than one.
She opened the door, holding her breath as she waited for Dash to tell her how ridiculous she looked. Maxine certainly felt ridiculous. No, not ridiculous. She felt like a phony! She never wore clothes like this. First of all, sheâd never waste money on something that she couldnât wear again. A red, satin dress, strapless to boot, wasnât a practical outfit in anyoneâs estimation.
âWow!â was the only word she heard.
Opening her eyesâ¦she hadnât realized that sheâd closed themâ¦and found a wide-eyed Dash standing in front of her. He swept his eyes over the red dress and matching heels. Correction, he was surveying her figure in the red dress and heels!
Her skin heated under the weight of his gaze. She felt a stirring deep down inside of her that she hadnât felt inâ¦ever! Oh, sheâd been interested in boys back in high school. But none of those teenage boys had ever incited suchâ¦tingly, excited sensations inside of her!
High school. Wow! That seemed so long ago! It was ancient history, in her mind.
