A composure suddenly took over his features, turning him unreadable. Clearing his throat, he cocked his head….

This time, I was thrown to hunt for a dress for her. I told him our dressing style was a lot different, I couldn’t help him with that. But his opinion was different. “I trust your decisions, Rosebud. I’m sure whatever you choose will be the best. Don’t worry. I’ll help you make the decision.”…
