"How did we get roped into this again?"
Mr. Gold sat back against the hard store bench and looked at his fellow captive. "Two beautiful yet conniving women tricked us into giving up our credit cards and manhood."
The doctor nodded. "Ah."
Gold had been as shocked as everyone else when he heard that Victor had gotten with Ruby. After Belle explained to him, he understood a little better and was truly happy for them both. He was also now thankful for the company Victor provided when Belle and Ruby went shopping.
"How much longer can they stay in there?" asked Victor.
"Hard to say. They have cards with no spending limits and a large amount of energy. We could be sitting here for another two hours."
"Two hours? We've already been here for three. What part of the store haven't they covered yet?"
Gold closed his eyes and checked. He easily found Belle's trail using magic and followed it. First skirts, then dress, then shoes for a while, and now they were at-oh wow.
He let out a happy chuckle and tried to fight a smile. He quickly opened his eyes and stood up, startling Victor.
"Well?"
"They're in the lingerie section, and I think Belle could use a man's opinion."
The doctor's eyes widened, and he quickly stood up as well. "Lead the way."
