Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 395

Abby

I arrive at the shopping center in the neighboring town, and the excitement bubbling inside me is almost palpable.

The dress at the Alpha gathering reminded me just how much I used to love getting dressed up for fancy occasions. After Karl and I got divorced, the most I would really ever get dressed up for was the club or going out to a nice restaurant; which is to say, not all that dressed up at all.

Growing up in a well-to-do family, I was always attending some event or another. My parents kept their wealth on the low-key side, but we still always had holiday parting and business events to attend. However, with our relationship distancing further and further over the years, especially since I moved to the city, that option slowly dwindled.

But now, things have changed—or so it seems. Now, for the second time in just a couple of months, I find myself going out to buy a dress for a fancy occasion. And although I can’t help but feel a little guilty as my mind whirls with thoughts of whether I’m taking this too far with Karl, I can’t deny my excitement.

Heading into the formal gown store, I’m almost immediately greeted by a lovely sales attendant who seems genuinely excited to help me.

“Good afternoon, Miss,” she says with a smile as I approach. “How can I help you today?”

“I’m looking for something very specific,” I say as my eyes scan the racks of increasingly fabulous—and expensive—gowns. “A dress for a masquerade.”

Her eyes light up at the mention of a masquerade. “Oh, how exciting!” she exclaims. “That sounds like fun. Right this way; I’ve just gotten some new stock in that I’m certain would go well with your complexion.”

She guides me through the racks of gowns, offering suggestions and pulling out dresses for me to consider.

As I browse through the elegant fabrics and styles, I can’t help but feel like a kid in a candy store. It’s been so long since I’ve shopped quite like this that it feels like I’m in an entirely different world.
