Bab 102: First Gift

"Alright, let me show you the shawls in dark blue color." The old lady answered when she went inside her shop for once and then came out with another three sets of the shawls in her hand. 

One by one, she opened them to present them in front of Alice, whose eyes didn't tear from any of them. "They are beautiful.." 

"We specially make them from the other town and are of the best quality. Miss, you should also try this one. It will look beautiful and also suit you since you look so pretty." The old lady's compliment brought a faint smile to her face, but Alice didn't respond. 

She simply brought the three shawls which the lady showed others, and took a liking to one of them. It was of the darkest blue color, similar to what she had imagined. As if the other lady has already read her mind, she can't help but ask. "Are you thinking about someone special while buying this colored shawl, miss?"
