    ... selection. Corey's eyes widened. The outfit looked even more stunning on her than he had imagined. It clung to her body like a second skin, accentuating her natural curves and making her appear ethereal. Emotions ran high as he envisioned her wearing it for another man.
    
    "Wow," he breathed, barely above a whisper. "You look amazing."
    
    Lauren blushed at the compliment, feeling reassured. Though initially nervous about the dress, she now felt like a million bucks wearing it. She playfully spun around, allowing the fabric to flow around her toned physique.
    
    "Do you really think so?" she asked, radiating excitement.
    
    "I do," Corey confirmed with a troubled nod. "It truly is perfect. Especially for... for Alex."
    
    A pang of guilt surfaced at the mention of the hesitant bull, but the brunette pushed it aside and walked back into the fitting area. This was what they both wanted -- for her to be noticed, to allure and attract. And the dress certainly achieved that. Ten minutes later, they stood outside the store on the sidewalk, with Lauren clutching the wrapped garment.
    
    "Now what?" she inquired.
    
    Across the street, a neon sign from a nail salon beckoned.
    
    "Perhaps a manicure?" Corey suggested, half-jokingly.
    
    "Hmm. I like the way you think."

    There wasn't but one other customer in The Sophisticated Cuticle, so they were able to take Lauren as a walk-in. Nearly empty, Corey was able to take a seat in a ...

    "Special occasion?" the girl - Babs, according to her nametag - asked as she trimmed excess skin with the nippers.
    
    "Hot date," Lauren grinned. "Right, babe?"
    
    Corey blinked with a blank look on his face. "If you say so."
    
    Babs glanced surreptitiously at the older man before returning her eyes to her customer's hand. Whatever the couple had planned, it didn't appear he was too excited about it. "What color are we thinking this time?"
    
    Lauren scrunched up her nose in thought, then deferred to Corey. "What doyou think Alex would like? Anything goes with white but make it something sexy."
    
    Babs remained expressionless as her eyes went back to the woman's husband.A bit odd she referred to him the third person, but whatever.
    
    "What'll it be, Alex? We can do classic red, a nice rich burgundy, maybe a shiny emerald?"
    
    Corey coughed. "I'm...I'm not Alex."
    
    The girl cocked an eyebrow.
    
    "Alex is my date. That's why we're here," Lauren explained bluntly.
    
    Julie's gaze alternated between the two before sighing. Nothing about Miami surprised her anymore.
