Blaine managed a genuine smile. “You’re right. I won’t let him distract me from the good day we’re having.

“That’s the spirit.”

The two of them headed back to the main floor of the store, looking over a few of the other dresses on display. Elaine picked out a soft blue one while Harriet was trying to get her to try on an orange one, which was going to be happening.

All up until a raised voice from the cash register drew their attention.

“But these are for charity!”

Elaine looked over, brow furrowed as she recongnized that voice.

Matthew.

He was standing in front of a very tired looking cashier. Elaine hadn’t realize he was out of prison yet, hadn’t heard from him a while.

“Don’t you know who I am?” Matthew demanded. “My very own sister has opened up a foundation for the poor. They need clothes, don’t they?”

Elaine tilted her head to the side, walking around a clothing rack to get a closer look. Matthew was holding a pair of very expensive white sneakers and a bag of clothes. But from this place? This place wasn’t exactly cheap, and donating items from it to the foundation would be pricey.

Matthew certainly wasn’t that generous.

“I’m sorry, sir, but I can’t give you a discount–” the worker began to say.

“Yes you can! Elaine said as much. She’d said she had a deal here. Don’t you want to help the poor and needy? Or are you going to deprive them of the very clothes on their back?” Matthew snapped.

Elaine had made no such deal. Matthew was trying to get himself some new clothes…and using her name was more. This time for a discount. She couldn’t let him slander her name like this.

“Enough,” Elaine said and walked toward them.
