SUFFIX GALLERIA MALL, SUFFIX MILLS — “Just go try it on,” Lucia urged Selin as they perused one of the more high end stores, pushing a dress draped on a hanger against her estranged friend’s chest. “It’s a size too small, yes, but that’s also the point.” The brunette nurse was someone the heir had kept in contact with and spent some time with over the years but their closeness in youth had faded nearly into an acquaintance in adulthood. A lot had happened in each other their lives; tragedies and heartbreaks that left them broken in their own ways. In being honest with herself, Lucia wasn’t sure if it all had changed Selin the way the things that had happened to her morphed her into something else. Most of their times spent catching up in the past had remained on a surface level, given that Lucia was aware of Selin’s knowledge of who she used to be— sweet, caring, thoughtful. Whereas now, everything about her was calculated. It was her best kept secret though. “You’re gonna look great,” she encouraged the departing slim figure with a thumbs up, “New Years is just around the corner. This’ll be a great party dress.”
