Chapter 29

• Elysium Boutique—New York’s most exclusive destination for couture fashion and luxury accessories. The kind of place where a single dress could cost more than most people’s yearly salary.
• Howard’s car came to a smooth stop outside the grand glass-fronted building. Anastasia’s excitement was almost palpable. Before the chauffeur could even open the door, she stepped out, her heels clicking against the marble pavement as she hurried toward the entrance.
• Inside, the boutique glimmered with soft golden light and the faint scent of expensive perfume. Rows of designer gowns shimmered under crystal chandeliers, each more exquisite than the last.
