At the end, she says, "Which one should I get? I can't decide."
"You're getting all of them," I proclaim.
She scrunches her face. "All of them? Surely, I don't need all of them."
I chuckle. "Sure ya do."
She tilts her head. "Why do I need all of them?"
"Because you're married to me, and they look good on ya. And I want ya to have them." I pat her ass and peck her on the lips. "Put the black one on. I'll take the rest to the counter and get them paid for."
"Just like that?" she questions.
"Aye. Of course."
She peers closer at the dresses.
I ask, "What size shoe do ya wear?"
"Six. Why?"
"Need to get you some heels."
She glances at her feet. "Ya don't like my trainers?"
"Nope," I admit, barely gazing at the worn shoes. I peck her on the lips again and disappear through the curtain. I resecure it and then go over to the shoe wall, hold up a pair of black stilettos, and tell the saleslady, "I need these in a six."
"Good choice." She beams, disappears into the back room, then reappears with a box.
We go to the register.
She slips a bag over the hangers and hands it to me. "Thank you, Mr. O'Connor."
Maeve reappears next to me.
I order, "Don't thank me. Thank my wife. Please cut her tag." I turn Maeve and finish zipping the dress.
The saleslady puts her fake smile on again and nods to Maeve. She cuts the tag and says, "Thank you."
"It's 'Thank you, Mrs. O'Connor,'" I growl.
She clears her throat. "Thank you, Mrs. O'Connor."
"Now, thank her for choosing such a great selection."
She takes a deep breath. "Thank you so much for coming in and shopping with us. Ya selected beautiful items, Mrs. O'Connor."
I hold out the heels to Maeve. "Put these on, princess."
Maeve obeys, then states, "I'll meet ya by the front door."
I nod. "Okay. Ya look stunning."
She says nothing and moves toward the door.
I finish the transaction and then join her, glancing at my watch. "Well, princess, I wish we had more time to stay and shop, but family duty calls. Time to go."
Nerves appear on her face. "Is your da... Will he be mean to me?"
