Stacy wandered through the grandiose hall of the boutique, her eyes flitting from one exquisite gown to another. The sheer number and beauty of the dresses overwhelmed her, each one more breathtaking than the last.
Rich fabrics glistened under the ambient lighting, delicate lacework and intricate beadings catching her eye but leaving her uncertain.
She had walked through the entire store several times, her indecision growing with every step. Xuan Chen, observing Stacy's mounting confusion, approached with a gentle smile.
"Why don't I pick a few dresses for you to try on?" she suggested, her tone reassuring.
Stacy's relief was palpable. She smiled and agreed without hesitation, feeling the exhaustion from her prolonged search lift slightly.
Tonight was important, even if everything about it felt surreal. She still wanted to look stunning, to have that moment of pure elegance.
