They ate dinner merrily while talking about their day.
"What did you buy from the shop today?" Loriel asked after the robots cleared their dining table and the two were left with their sweet wine to unwind.
"Oh… I bought a dress for the gala and some more office clothes," Elise said. She took her paper bag and put it on the table. "Do you want to see?"
"Yes, sure."
Loriel wanted to invite his designer to come sometimes and ask him to make some clothes for Elise too, but that had to wait. This was not yet the right time.
"Okay.. here they are," said Elise happily. She took out a simple silk dress in white. It had embroidery on the V-neckline. The length was probably slightly above the knee and looked very elegant.
Loriel could immediately imagine how it would look on Elise's body. She would look amazing in anything, but this particular dress took his breath away because… it was white.
If you read both the raw and edited versions, I hope you can enjoy the difference. ^^
