When she arrived home, she headed straight to the bathroom.

The smell of blood seemed to cling to her, even though it wasn’t hers.

The hot water cascaded over her skin, washing away the remnants of the encounter.

But no amount of soap could cleanse the unease that lingered.

Shaking off the dark thoughts, Nora stepped out of the shower and wrapped herself in a towel,

The mall buzzed with activity as Nora made her way to one of the most exclusive dress boutiques in the city,

Its grand glass doors gleamed under the lights, promising luxury and sophistication.

Inside, the store was a dazzling display of glamour.

Backs of exquisite gowns lined the walls, each a masterpiece of design and artistry.

Intricate beading, flowing fabrics, and rich hues adorned the garments.Nora’s eyes lit up as she scanned the

Nora glanced down at her casual outfit jeans and a plain sweater.

She noticed the subtle disdain in the clerk's eyes, the way she sized her up and dismissed her as just another

window shopper.

“It’s fine. I'll look around.” Nora replied, undeterred.

As she moved through the store, her fingers trailed lightly over the gowns, admiring the craftsmanship.

Then her gaze fell on a dress displayed prominently in the center of the store.

It was breathtaking. The gown was a deep, midnight blue that seemed to shimmer with every shift of light, as if

in its fabric.

Tiny crystals were delicately scattered across t the bodice and skirt, mimicking a cascade of stars.

Its beauty was undeniable, and while she didn’t step closer, she allowed herself a moment to admire its

craftsmanship.

“That dress is truly something else,” she murmured, half to herself.

The clerk nearby gave her a quick glance, her lips curving into a faint, condescending smile.

“It’s reserved for someone with exquisite taste and, of course, the means to afford it,” she added pointedly

Nora didn’t respond. Instead, she turned her attention to the other dresses around her.

They were all stunning, crafted from luxurious fabrics with intricate details, and each seemed to tell a different

story.

But no matter how beautiful they were, none could rival the grandeur of the gown at the center.

After browsing for a while. Nora's eyes landed on a gown that suited her perfectly.

It was a soft ethereal shade of champagne, with delicate lace embellishments cascading down the bodice and

onto the flowing skirt.

The neckline was a modest illusion style, adorned with fine beadwork that shimmered under the light, and the

back featured a graceful bow tied at

the waist.

It was elegant and understated, yet captivating in its simplicity.

“This one,” Nora said softly, running her fingers along the fabric.

As she brought the dress to the counter, the clerk rang it up with minimal interest.

While waiting for the transaction, Nora overheard a conversation between two clerks nearby.

Nora raised an eyebrow in surprise but didn’t say anything.

Later that evening, Nora sat at her vanity, carefully applying her makeup.

She chose soft, neutral tones to complement her gown, enhancing her natural beauty without overpowering it.

Her hair was styled in loose waves that framed her face, and she added a pair of sparkling earrings as a finishing

touch.

When she heard a knock at the door, she took a final glance in the mirror, feeling satisfied with her look

Leu stood at the doorway, his expression frozen for a moment before he broke into a wide smile.

“Wow, Nora,” he said, his voire filled with genuine admiration. “You look incredible.
