Chapter 46
“So… is there a reason you’re driving Nancy around? Where do you know her from?”
“Funny story, actually…” Liam rubbed the back of his neck.
“Liam! Help me out of the car, would you?”
He looked up, then hurried over to the other side of the car. “Sorry,” he said, helping Nancy out as well. Elaine watched him help the older woman out before stepping back.
Nancy turned to Elaine, followed her toward the door. Liam jogged ahead of them to get it.
At the curb, Elaine offered her arm.
“Oh, I don’t actually need help,” Nancy said, with a faint smile. “I just like bossing Liam around.”
Elaine nearly snorted a laugh.
“The Alpha of the Moonwatch Pack just…listens to you?”
“Amusing, isn’t it?” Nancy walked inside, Elaine trailing after.
It wasn’t some generic clothing they walked into, but a luxury store. Dark panels on the walls, gold trimming, and marble floors.
It all looked way out of her price range considering she was trying to get a foundation started.
“I can’t believe I’ve never been here before,” Elaine said, turning a circle to look around.
“A shame. I believe they have some dresses that would look lovely on you.” Nancy walked toward the back of the store, already knowing exactly where to head.
Elaine lingered a step behind. “Are we even talking about the foundation today?”
“Doubtful,” Liam replied. “Maybe you can get some details in if you let her buy you something.”
She glanced sideways at him. “What?”
“Just lay along. She likes buying things, and has more than enough money to do so.” Liam made a shooing motion to get Elaine moving. She only shook her head at him before following along with Nancy to the back.
Where she’d had Elaine try on at least a dozen different outfits.
Five of them were suits in different colors, one a garish purple that Elaine immediately said no to and another with gemstones along the collar that screamed tacky. Nancy seemed to be having fun though. Liam just kept telling Elaine to go along with it.
