Jeremy, fighting back a chuckle, continued, “How about…”

“Not making Yvonne try them on anymore!” Yvonne blurted, finishing his sentence for him, her face filled with anticipation as she looked up at him.

Jeremy could no longer hold back a smile. He reluctantly tore his gaze away from her adorable face, his eyes shifting to the brand representatives in the living room, all wearing smiles that could rival those of proud aunts.
