His Armored Heart

Chapter Twenty

Bree smiled as she looked through a rack of flowy dresses, trying to pick something out while Tony looked for a suitable photographer on an extremely short notice. What do I choose? What color? White would be too much already... but it's an idea. She grabbed a sheer white dress and put the hanger on her wrist and continued to look.

"Can I help you find anything?" A shop attendant politely offered.

"Umm, I'm looking for something fitting for engagement photos on the beach," Bree told the young lady. "I like this sheer one, but I don't want to do a lot of white quite yet."

"I would suggest a pale blue then. You want light colors on the beach." She told Bree.

"Do you recommend any here?" Bree asked with a soft smile. "I'm going to be as natural as I can for our photos."

"I have a dress similar to the white one you were looking at." She answered.

Bree smiled. "That sounds lovely. I'm sure my fiancé would love it."

"Come on, I'll show it to you." She said, leading Bree to the back wall where she took down a flowy, light blue dress.

"That's really pretty," Bree commented. "I really like it."

"Would you like to try it on?" She offered.

"I'd love to," Bree agreed as she took the dress and sat it over her elbow.

She led Bree over to one of the two dressing rooms. "If you need help with the zipper, let me know."

"Thank you." Bree walked into the dressing room and stripped off her shorts and shirt easily before she slipped on the dress. She stood in the mirror and swayed back and forth, trying to see if she liked the color against her skin.

While Bree was in the dressing room, Tony sent her a message, knowing her phone would alert her.

Bree picked up her phone and snapped a photo of her and sent it to him.

Bree: What do you think?"

Tony's jaw dropped when he saw the photo. When he regained use of his words, he quickly text back.

Tony: You are absolutely breathtaking. I found a photographer.

Bree: There's a white one too. I think I'll get both. I'm glad you found someone!

Tony: Get anything you'd like darling. I will be over there with you in a few minutes.

Bree: I'll keep that in mind. See you soon.

Bree redressed in her own clothes before she gathered the dresses and picked out a pair of boots. Then she walked her choices over to the counter to pay them. I have a feeling today will be amazing.

"How did you like the blue dress?" The shop attendant asked Bree.

"I love it. I think I'll get both of them please," Bree answered as she pulled her wallet from her purse.

The attendant looked surprised for a moment, then smiled. "Of course." She smiled then totaled the order.

"My fiance wants multiple dresses for me to change into. He likes to be fancy at times," Bree chuckled.

"I'm sure he will love the dresses you picked." She assured Bree. "Is there anything else you need?"

"I don't think so. Thank you for your help," Bree praised. She took her bag, waved, then left the shop.

As Bree walked out, Tony walked up and joined her. "Do I get to see the dress?" He asked excitedly.

"If you want to," Bree answered as she offered the bag over to him. "How long were you waiting?"
