As she allowed herself to be led, the lingering nervousness slowly gave way to a sense of indulgence she wasn't used to.
However, she still felt out of place with her casual clothes among the wealthy clientele browsing leisurely through racks of designer clothes.
They stopped at a boutique, and Jace gestured for her to look around.
The sales attendant immediately approached with a warm smile the moment his eyes lighted on the outstanding couple that stepped into the mall.
Grace glanced up at Jace and he squeezed her hand gently, his smile encouraging. "Just try it, Grace. You might be surprised."
Grace took a deep breath and nodded. She scanned through the racks, her fingers brushing over the fine fabrics.
It was overwhelming, the sheer luxury of it all, but there was a part of her that felt a thrill at the thought of being pampered, even if it was just for a moment.
