After the spa treatment, Raquel led us into a boutique that looked both upscale and expensive. I had expected more of a local vibe, but as my eyes roamed over the displays, everything screamed luxury.

“Shopping time!” Raquel burst out in a bright, musical tone, practically singing as she skipped ahead toward the entrance.

I shook my head, unable to hold back my laugh. “It is, and I’ll be paying,” I threw in casually.

Raquel scoffed. “Hell no! I initiated this, so I’m paying. Besides, if I max out, I’ll just call my man.”

We moved between the racks, picking out dresses and shoes, and I pointed to several that would look great on Raquel. She tried them on, and as expected, they fit like a dream. Then, she held up a daring gown and wiggled her brows. “Your turn.”

I eyed the dress. It was sexy–tight, short, and barely–there. It was like something a seductress would wear. No matter how bold I had been in the past, this was on a different level.

“I don’t know if I can…” I hesitated, already knowing Raquel wouldn’t let me off the hook.
