She Was Out

Walking around the mall, Marissa chatted happily with Winter about the intricately decorated dress adorned with sequins. Winter, noticing the joy on Marissa's face, couldn't help but smile back. She made a conscious effort to steer the conversation away from other topics, wanting to maintain the positive atmosphere. 

As they strolled, Winter's eyes caught sight of a branded handbag shop. "Let's have a look there," she suggested, pointing towards the shop on their right.

Entering the shop with excitement, Marissa's eyes were immediately drawn to a stunning red clutch. The soft texture, likely suede, was irresistible as she ran her fingers over it. Closing her eyes briefly, she battled her desire to purchase the clutch and reluctantly placed it back on the shelf.

"No, focus Marissa," she said to herself, reminding herself to exercise restraint and focus on the purpose of her shopping trip.
