Chapter 41: Rescue

“Now, that one just won’t do.” The woman with the white hair waved her hand at a dress as soon as the salesgirl brought it out.

“Yes, Ms. Watson.” The girl nodded slightly and kept walking right out the other door.

“I like that one." I pointed toward the short beige halter dress with a cute design on the material that another girl brought out.

“These are all casual clothes, mind you.” Ms. Watson silently waved off another outfit, making a face, and the girl kept walking. “After you have a moderate amount, we’ll bring out some evening clothes.” She gave Declan a knowing smile. “I’m sure there’ll be functions that you’ll be expected to attend, so we want to make sure you look appropriate.”

I nodded thoughtfully. “Thank you.”

“I like that one.” Declan nodded to one that another salesgirl brought in.

“So do I.” I smiled up at Declan. Even though he had said he wasn’t my Prince Charming, he was sure acting like it.
