I look hot!

She posed in front of the mirror in dress number two. She sort of liked it, but Maddie shook her head.

"Was Theo there? What did he say?"

"That this is just how he is and I should wait and see, et cetera. And I'm sure he's right. I'm just impatient. You know how important this is to me, Mads."

"I know." Maddie unzipped dress number three without even commenting on it. "I bet Theo is right, though. You know how your boss can be."

When Maddie looked at her in the fourth dress, she smiled and pointed to the shoes that she'd ordered Stella to bring along with her. Then she spun her finger in a circle, forcing Stella to twirl. When Stella caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, her eyes widened.

"Holy shit, I look hot."

"Mmmhmmm, what did I say?" Maddie had that smug look on her face, but Stella couldn't even be mad at it.

How did one little dress make her look like a movie star? It was red, with a neckline that showed just enough cleavage, and a full skirt that floated as she twirled and somehow made her waist look tiny.
