Disappointment gnawed at me as we entered the familiar shop once more. Surprisingly when Dulcie requested I accompany her again for the third time, I obliged. I have no idea why but I did it anyways.
Or maybe i knew why and I didn’t want to accept it to myself yet?
Despite Dulcie's tantrum the last time, Sadie greeted us with the same sunny disposition.
"Welcome back! Did you have a chance to think about the dresses?"
Dulcie, however, wasn't interested in pleasantries. "Cut to the chase," she snapped. "Do you have the red dress or not?"
Sadie's smile faltered slightly. "No, ma'am, I'm afraid not. It's…" she hesitated, glancing nervously at me.
"Just tell her it's not for sale," I interjected, a sigh escaping my lips. My wolf whined in frustration, his disappointment mirroring my own.
