Gabriel's knuckles were white on the steering wheel. “That's the most expensive shop in the territory.”
“I know.” | smiled sweetly at his reflection. “Alexander said not to worry about cost.”
Lilith was trying not to laugh, I could tell. She'd been delighted when I'd asked her to calong, especially
after I'd explained Gabriel's new role for the day. There was nothing Lilith enjoyed more than watching someone

I ignored him and headed for the door. “Let's go try it on.”
Within minutes, | was standing in a fitting room, sliding into the most beautiful dress I'd ever worn. The silk felt
like liquid against my skin, and when I looked in the mirror, | let out an audible gasp.
