“What do you think about this?” For the fifth time, Levi stepped out of the changing room wearing a white gown that was molded with a handwrought design.
Scanning her from top to bottom and when she spun from front to back, I forcefully nodded my head. “ That is good!”
“Oh! Come one, Quynh!” She threw her hands in the air. “This is the fifth time you are giving the same compliment,” she rumbled, sounding offended.
“And still you went to try on another gown again and again.”
Soon after my reply escaped my lips, she narrowed her eyes. But before she could react, I added, “Besides, what do you accept from me when you look heavenly in every gown you wear?”
“Aww!” she whined, clutching her chest, totally forgetting those offending words of mine. “Thank you for your compliment and let me tell you, you are also a beauty.”
Slightly turning my head, I whispered, “Yet, your beauty beat me and he chose you over me.”
“Sorry? I didn’t hear you,” she said.
