We can't give the gown away no matter what

They had lunch together and after that, went straight to the bridal boutique to get Valerie's wedding gown.

Tiana didn't understand fully well what was going on, so Max decided to explain in his own terms while Valerie looked around.

She kept her mask on the whole time, not wanting to risk anything.

The gowns were flashy and that was honestly what she was going for, since it had a role to play, but she was considering it a little deeply.

This was going to be her one and only wedding ceremony. And even though they weren't getting married because they were so madly in love with each other or wanted to spend eternity in each other's embrace, she wanted to put in effort as it meant a lot to her... Since Max was her partner, haha.
