With my coffee in hand, I decide to do a bit of shopping. I step into a nearby clothing boutique that I haven’t seen before and begin flipping through the racks, pulling out various items and holding them up to myself in the mirror.
“That’s a nice color,” a familiar voice says as I’m holding up an emerald green sweater in the mirror..
I turn around, surprised to see Elsie, the maid who used to be my friend, standing there. She doesn’t seem to recognize me through the mask. I tug it down just enough so she can see me, and her eyes widen.
“Ab—”
“Shh,” I hiss, drawing closer. “I’m laying low.”
Elsie nods slowly, then grins. “I didn’t know you were going to be in town today,” she says. “How are you doing? I heard about…” Her voice trails off, but we both know what she’s thinking: the disaster of an Alpha party.
“It’s a long story,” I explain quietly. “But it’s under control. I needed to get out of the city, though.”
Elsie shoots me a knowing look, then loops her arm around my shoulder. She’s in her plain clothes; it must be her day off, hence the reason why she didn’t know I was going to be here. It was all so last minute, after all.
After a moment, Elsie glances at the items I’ve got in my hand: a mini dress, a sweater, and a scarf.
“Are you shopping for something special?” she asks.
