Chương 21: Spark of connection

As Ariana entered the changing room, Tony lingered outside, his ears straining to catch any sound of trouble. He had been tasked with protecting her, and he took his job seriously. After all, he didn't want to be responsible for her getting kidnapped again.

"How are you doing in there?" he called out, trying to sound casual. "Everything okay?"

Ariana giggled "Yes, I'm fine, I about trying out the dress now, okay?."

"Alright." He replied, but it didn't take long before he called out again. "You're all done now, right?" He asked anxiously, expecting a reply from her.

He got a muffled reply from the other side of the door, and he couldn't quite make it out. Tony wondered if he should knock, or if that would be too forward. But he needed to make sure she was all right.
