"I'll take it. I like blue." Cherry smiled with satisfaction, looking at her slim figure outlined by the blue dress.

"Good, I'll pay." Stephen beamed.

Cherry smiled and returned to the dressing room.

Stephen knew who the cashier was referring to. The corners of his mouth twisted up. "Thank you, " he said.
