Lottie walked into Nordstrom on Didier’s arm, feeling like a queen despite her ratty dress.

Okay, her dress wasn’t ratty ratty—it was still pretty and didn’t look worn (because she hadn’t had the need to wear proper dresses in so long)—but in her mind it was old. She was pretty sure she bought it before there’d been a man on the moon.

It made her feel old.

As if sensing her disquiet, Didier patted her hand. “Ne t’inquiète pas. We will find beautiful clothes.”

“I’m not worried.” Didier had the best fashion sense of anyone she’d ever met. “I’m excited for a new look. Maybe we can stop by the makeup counter and they can give me a makeover too,” she said excitedly. She’d never had that done.

Didier frowned at her. “You are beautiful. You do not need makeup.”

Aww. She grinned at him. “You’re very good for a girl’s morale.”

“Come. We have much to do.” He guided her toward the escalator, stopping a salesperson along the way to ask a question about where a particular section was located. The salesperson pointed up to the second floor. Thanking her, he escorted Lottie upstairs.

“Here it is,” Didier said. He went to a rack and picked out a dress, eyeing it critically. It was purple, with shiny gold accents. He nodded and handed it to her.

She surveyed it. She could already tell it was going to fit perfectly. She tucked it under her arm and went through the rest of the rack. “I didn’t know you’d know women’s fashion quite so well.”

He shrugged as he began rifling through the dresses. “I asked Coco.”

“Coco?” She pursed her lips. “Jamie’s cousin?”

“She is a designer. She knows dresses,” he said matter-of-factly.

She turned and studied him. “Do you like Coco?”

He arched his brow at her. “Bien sûr. Otherwise, why would I talk to her?”

“No, I mean, do you like Coco?” She picked out a multicolored blouse.

Didier pointed at it. “Non.”

“Non?” She stared at it. He was right. Shrugging, she put it back. “So, Coco.”

“Coco is my friend.”

“Does Jamie know?” she asked as casually as she could, already suspecting the answer since this was the first time she’d heard about Coco in relation to Didier.

“There is nothing to know. Coco lives in Paris. I live in Chicago.” He handed her a blue skirt.

“If she didn’t live in Paris…?” she asked, accepting the skirt without looking at it.

Didier shrugged in his particularly pragmatic Gallic way. “That will not happen. And before you ask, I will not go back to Paris except to visit. I like it here.”

A salesperson came up to them with a hopeful smile. “Can I get a fitting room started for you?”

“Yes,” Didier said, handing the lady another dress with a flash of his charming smile.

The woman melted right before Lottie’s eyes. “I’ll get one started for you.”

Lottie leaned in toward Didier and elbowed him lightly. “You think you can teach me how to smile like that?”

Didier frowned at her. “What is wrong with your smile?”

“Men don’t go all aflutter when I smile at them.
