Chapter 35. Dress

I will bathe in the blood of my enemies. I will bask in their misery. I will destroy them. And then I will have a glass of wine over their bodies to celebrate.

Kory sat with her hands over her head.

"I'm just gonna get a dress from a thrift store or something" she said.

"No I -" "I can't believe I forgot!" She interrupted Carter.

"You-" "I can't go home even if I had an appropriate dress which I don't and I'm currently too broke to afford anything good enough. Yeah, thrift store it is" she finished and got up. Just as she reached the door of the room she shared in the precinct with Carter, he grabbed her hand and turned her to face him.

"If you'll just let me finish, I got you a dress and shoes"

She recoiled in shock.

"What?"

"I got you a dress and shoes" he repeated.

Kory felt a number of different emotions at his words.
