Luis called Alison, and she hurried to follow him up.
The night fair was crowded, much more people than Alison had expected, and there were many young couples.
Alison and Luis walked together but kept a distance. They looked a little weird in the crowd.
Alison was aware of it, but soon her eyes were drawn to the various ornaments.
Luis was not interested in those ornaments. But when he saw Alison stop, he stopped too.
Alison especially liked a kitty made of shells.
She was afraid of breaking it, so she didn't touch it. She just watched it.
Just as Alison was about to ask how much the kitten cost, the kitten was taken away by a girl.
Alison then had to look at other things. She then found a beautiful music box decorated with conches.
The music box looked quite sturdy, so Alison took it into her hands to look closely.
It was a little heavy.
Alison twisted the switch, and it started to play a piano song.
"Luis, is it pretty?"
Luis was replying to a message on his phone. When he heard Alison call his name, he subconsciously looked up at her, and he saw the music box in her hand. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Yes, it is.”
The music box was indeed delicate. There was a starfish on the top of the conches.
The price tag was on the bottom of it. When Alison turned it upside down and saw the price, she was shocked.
$385.
'It's so expensive!'
Actually, Alison had money. Alexis transferred thousands of dollars to Alison's card every month, but Alison never used it.
Except for tuition, Alison had never spent such a large sum of money in her life.
The girl who had just taken the kitten was also interested in the music box in Alison's hand. Seeing Alison not taking it to the counter, the girl asked, "Do you want it? If you don't want it, I'd like to have a look at it.
