Chapter 13

Audrey & Thinl Person

Audrey's POV

"Here's that design I was telling you about." Avis said, sliding a paper across the table. "It's not finished, but........"

I took the paper and turned it over, my breath catching as soon as I saw the sketch. It was a beautifully tailored two-piece set, a matching top trousers with a hat as well, all drawn in Avis's signature style. "Avis," I said, "this is fantastic."
