The Dress

The dress shop in the casino complex was relatively empty with only a couple of people casually browsing. Since the dresses were so expensive, the shop didn't get very many customers. Most people either checked the prices and decided to try their luck in the casino, or they had just won some money and wanted to find a place to splurge.

Inside the change room, Halia was all alone with the three dresses that Emerson had picked out. One was a tight red dress with a mermaid cut, another was a black off-shoulder dress, and the last one was a short white lace dress with long sleeves. All three looked elegant in their own way.

Halia picked up the red dress first and tried it on. Her slim figure slipped perfectly into the dress as it hugged the curves of her body. But, Halia felt slightly awkward in it. Even though the dress wasn't very revealing, she felt as though it drew too much attention.

"Are you done, Halia? Come out and show me," Emerson called from outside.
