Chapter 56

• The cool breeze of the boutique’s air conditioning brushed against my skin as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The dress Sabrina had convinced me to try on was a deep emerald green, its silk fabric flowing gently around me as I turned this way and that, unsure of how I looked.
• Sabrina was lounging by the counter, one eyebrow raised as she observed me with a mischievous glint in her eyes. I knew exactly what was coming.
