Summer left him to it, picking up her brush and stepping into the bathroom. Five minutes had her hair brushed out straight and wound into a bun, and then she peeked out to check on Victor. “Find anything, darling?”
He looked over his shoulder to her and smiled. “Well, I found this red dress with gold embroidery that I really like, it’s a little short if you don’t mind. Otherwise I found a black one that has these stunning silver designs running across it. Personally, I’m favoring the red one.” Victor held out the red dress, for Summer’s inspection. It was a little short, a bit above the knee in length and a light, almost satiny material and the colour complimented Victor’s shirt perfectly.
“I think I still fit into that,” she mused. “You better keep me warm, Victor darling, if I wear it.” Flashing him a bright, teasing smile, she ducked back into the bathroom and turned on the shower. “Helios! Shower time!” she called, above the rush of water. Galloping like dogs were after him, the big, fluffy cat rounded the dresser and charged into the bathroom, plumy tail waving.
