Day out (4)
"This is where I go to get all of my shoes."
"I don't need any more shoes for a while, Erin. Edgar bought me a lot of them and I have not worn more than four pairs of them so far. I'm not looking for dresses, shoes, bags, jewelry, or hats. I have a room full of them and I won't be able to bear the sight of more being added. Thank you," Alessandra accepted Caleb's help out of the carriage.
"What are we here for?" Erin asked. A girl's day out normally involved shopping for those things.
"There must be something else we can look at that does not involve clothing. Even though he was not given a limit, I do not want to waste Edgar's money," said Alessandra.
Erin placed her hand on Alessandra's shoulder and said, "You're money. What's his now belongs to you and judging from the way he has been spoiling you, he seems to think the same. You are such a pure soul for someone who lives in Lockwood."
