"You look absolutely breathtaking," Alex complimented sincerely, a smile playing on his lips.

Lisa smiled back, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction. "Thank you, Alex. It's important to dress for the occasion, even if it's just a vintage car auction."

Alex chuckled, shaking his head slightly. "You always manage to look perfect, no matter where we're going. But you know, you don't have to dress up for this."
