Chapter Eleven: Shopping

After her appointment, Lydia decided to go shopping. She walked through the doors and headed for a long stroll. She walked eating an ice cream cone. Of course she just HAD to pass Victoria's Secret. This made her feel like a balloon. She just kept walking, though, trying not to compare herself to the showcase models.

She walked into the furniture store. She walked among the couches and chairs. She stopped suddenly when she saw the absolute perfect item. It was a gorgeous bedroom set and it was on clearance. The set was very modern, perfect for Nick and Lydia's taste. The wood was soft in color and stained an oak color.

Lydia stood there in awe until she was attacked by a salesperson. Lydia was in deep thought until she was interrupted.

"Ma'am, would you like some help?"

"No. Actually, I'll take it."

The salesperson seemed pretty surprised, but didn't complain; he still got his commission.

Lydia drove home with the delivery truck following her.
