248 Why Would You Leave?

Lina and Julie walked side by side through the high-end mall.

Lina held a bag of school supplies for the twins in one hand and Kayden walked alongside her holding her other hand.

"What about that store?" Julie asked, pointing at an expensive designer shop.

"It looks good," Lina said and they entered the store.

Lina and Julie searched the racks for the perfect dress for under Julie's graduation gown.

"Black?" Julie asked and Lina shook her head, "Too depressing. You're celebrating. What about pink? You love pink?"

Julie held the blush pink satin, ruffled dress up against her body.

"It's a bit sexy," she said biting her lower lip, "I don't think dad would agree..."

Lina smiled, "Anyway you'll be wearing the graduation gown over the top and you're twenty-one now Julie! You're allowed to be a little sexy..." Lina smiled.

"Sexy..." Kayden repeated and Lina's eyes grew wide.
