Chapter 10 The Dress

“Who is it?” Emily Carter got up to answer the door.

Standing outside was Damien Taylor. “Is Miss Johnson here?”

Emily froze for a moment. “Wait… are you-Damien Taylor?”

Damien didn’t acknowledge her surprise. Calmly, he said, “Nbrought a dress for you, Miss Johnson. Try it on. If it doesn’t suit you, we can choose another.”

Amelia Johnson stepped forward, gently moving Emily aside. “Thank you,” she said, accepting the elegantly wrapped box.

After Damien left, Emily finally found her voice. “Was that really… the Damien Taylor?”

“Told you he lived next door,” Amelia replied, already opening the box.

Emily stared, wide-eyed. “I genuinely thought I was hallucinating.”

Amelia rolled her eyes. “I already said he’s my neighbor.”

Emily narrowed her gaze, suspicion clear. “What’s going on between you two? Spill.”

Holding up the dress, Amelia brushed it off vaguely, “It’s a long story. I’ll explain another time.”

Emily moved closer, then gasped. “Amelia-this dress-!”

Amelia frowned slightly. “Why would he choose this one?”

Emily’s expression turned teasing. “This is one of Joey’s signature designs. Go try it on-I swear no one will wear it better than you.”

Amelia shot her a look. “Why are you grinning like that?”

With a playful smirk, Emily said, “I’m telling you, Damien’s into you.”

Amelia tossed a cushion at her. “Stop making things up, you gossip!”

Five minutes later, Amelia emerged wearing the crimson off-the-shoulder gown-it hugged her curves. flawlessly.

Emily’s jaw dropped. “Amelia… if you’d dressed like this back then, Ethan Collins would’ve been head over heels for you ages ago. You’ve got the figure-you should own it!”

Back then, Amelia either lived in oversized hoodies or wore whatever Sabrina picked out-always deliberately unflattering.

“Ugh, men. So shallow. Who even cares about his affection now?” Amelia shrugged.
