Wildwood
“I hadn’t been expecting it; in fact I had other plans about what I’d be wearing. But the boxes embossed with a gold designer monogram changed all that.
I opened the shoebox first: it held cream shoes with delicate beading and heels that were slender enough to be elegant, without being so high as to make me ridiculously tall. They fitted perfectly. I wondered how Michael knew my shoe size. He’d say he was good at guessing, I supposed. It creeped me out a little bit. Of course this was exactly th...e sort of thing Michael Deverick would do. He was used to being in charge and he liked to spend money on things. Particularly on things that he owned, I reminded myself. I needed to be on my guard.
Then I tried the dress on and stopped worrying about the shoes, because that fitted perfectly too and it took my breath away. Looking in the mirror I could hardly believe the reflection was my own. From the narrow shoulders down the dress fitted like a second skin, all the way to a softly flared skirt with a gypsyish hemline.MoreLess
