Shawn let out a sigh. How much longer was this going to take? He was currently sitting on an overstuffed couch that was a very ugly shade of green, waiting not-so-patiently for his girlfriend to finish up in the store's changing room.
Juliet burst out of her changing room, clothed in a black skirt and a very pretty magenta blouse. She looked magnificent, as always, and Shawn was quick to point it out.
"Are you sure, though?" Juliet asked, worried. "I feel like the blouse makes my shoulders look really wide."
"I think you look fantastic," Shawn said, getting bored of the same reassurance with every outfit his overzealous girlfriend tried on. He loved her to pieces, but he agreed with the Chief- when she went undercover, she tended to go overboard.
"Do I look like I'd fit in with a preppy crowd?" Juliet asked, more to herself than to Shawn. They were tracking an upper-middle-class gangster, so Juliet was trying to hit the balance between casual and elegant.
"Jules," Shawn said urgently. She quieted. Shawn laid a quick kiss on her lips before saying, "It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside. Your brain is what's going to sell you. You're smart and streetwise and clever and you'll fit right in. I promise."
Juliet smiled and allowed him another kiss.
"So, which of these blouses is your favorite?" she brandished colorful fabrics into Shawn's face. He let out a good-natured sigh. Even if it mattered to her what she looked like on the outside, Shawn always thought she was beautiful, both outside and in.
