It wasn't long before a peppy sales associate with a sleek blonde ponytail and a smile that could kill bounded over to us.

"Welcome! How can I help you today?"

Edwin nodded at me with his arms folded across his chest. "She needs a new phone. The best

The associate beamed, either not noticing or choosing to ignore the sudden deep redness in my face. "Right this way!"
