Thirty minutes later, I’m showered and dressed. My hair is still wet because I’m too lazy to dry it, so I toss it up into a bun. Before I head downstairs, I give myself a onceover in the mirror. I’m dressed in a pair of jeans and a chunky sweatshirt I’m wearing over a T-shirt.

Is this shopping attire? I don’t even know, but let’s hope it’s good enough.

I find Bel in the foyer, leaning against the wall. She greets me with a smile, and together we head out into the chilly midday sun. A black Sedan is parked out front, and Drew sits in the driver's seat. Should’ve known he wouldn’t be very far from Bel.

As we climb into the backseat I ask Bel, “Is this our security?”

He flashes me a grin over his shoulder. "Just pretend I'm not here."

I level a look at Bel. "Not likely to happen."

She chuckles and then reaches over the seat to grab a couple of iced coffees Drew passes back to her. Shoving one into my hand, she turns in the seat to face me. "Don’t mind him. Drew is sworn to secrecy today. He won't say anything to anyone, or I won't let him do that one thing he likes." A pink flush climbs into her cheeks.

I don’t know if I believe that, but I go with it.

Drew grumbles from the front seat but keeps his eyes on the road while he drives us off the estate. This must be a sanctioned outing since Sebastian isn't currently blowing up my phone or chasing me down the driveway. It doesn’t take us long to arrive wherever it is we’re going, maybe ten minutes. Drew pulls the sedan to the curb outside an upscale boutique.

“If you guys need anything I’ll be right here, chilling in the car.”

“That’s fine, because we won’t be needing anything.” Bel snickers and I look at the front door of the shop skeptically.

Bel must sense my hesitation because she latches onto my arm and damn near drags me out of the car. "I know this doesn't seem like my style, but it's a good place to get dresses and the added touch is the staff don't make me want to punch them in the face."

I’m not sure what to say, so I say nothing at all. Bel drags us both through the door, and the little ding of the bell announces our presence. It’s a beautiful shop, all white and black on accenting marble. The mannequins are stick figures barely holding clothing arranged artfully around the room. This is not a place I’d ever come to shop. I risk a look at Bel, but she seems determined.

A small woman in black slacks and a black blouse comes around from the back of the shop. "Ah, Ms. Arturo, you've returned. How can we help you today?”

“Yes, my friend would like to try on some dresses if you have time?” Bel answers for both of us.

“Of course we have time, anything for you.” The woman smiles and gestures for us to follow her.
