Harm looked at his watch and sighed.
During Mattie's spring break, he was taking her to California to meet his mother and step-father. When his ward had told him she needed a bathing suit for their trip, he realized that he needed a new one, too. It had seemed like a good idea for them to make just one shopping excursion for both of them.
Until now, he had only heard stories about how long women took to shop for clothes.
Mattie came out from the dressing room in yet another suit and asked, "Do you think this makes my butt look big?"
"Mattie, you look beautiful. If anyone is looking at your... behind, I will personally make sure that he stops," he replied, answering in male- guardian mode.
"So you're saying my butt does look big," her face fell. "And I liked this one."
Harm groaned as the teenager turned back into the dressing room.
