Thirty five

DAISY POV

"So where are you going to after this? Work?" He asked me after the meal.

"No, I am going to the mall. I need to get stuff for Rhea that she would use for her fighting lessons."

"Can I take you there? Just as friends. No hidden strings."

"Sure, that won't be a problem."

"Let's go then."

He paid the bill and we drove to the mall together.

We went to the kid's section, and he helped me pick out clothes for Rhea.

I also picked up some clothes for Rigel too, I didn't want him feeling left out.

I also picked out toys for both of them.

Despite my protests, Silvan paid for everything I picked out.

"You shouldn't have to pay," I complained.

"Why? We are friends. Friends can pay for each other, right."

"But not all the time."

"Okay Daisy, I will lay off on the paying."

"Thank you."

As we walk through the mall, my eyes catch a red dress in a showglass in a boutique.
