"You ready?" she asked and I raised my eyebrow at her, wondering what the hell it must have been that required me to be ready.

My frown deepened as Lilly stood aside and gestured for me to open the door to her bedroom. I did as she said and peeked my head around the door, only to be left speechless.

"What the actual fuck?" I asked, walking further into her room and staring at the beautiful shimmering fabric hanging from her built-in wardrobes.

"How the hell do you have this?" I stared at Lilly as she came into her room and smiled at the dress I'd tried on at the boutique.

"It'll take more than a dress for him to earn my approval, but he's on the right track," she commented and it clicked in my head.

"How?"

"He's a sneaky fucker."

"You organised this with Kit?"

Nodding, she folded her arms and grinned at me.

"I can't believe he's done this."

"He told me to do whatever it takes to make sure you feel perfect."

I just stared at her.

"I know, I know."

I took the opportunity to walk up to the dress hanging from Lilly's wardrobe. Part of me felt like I needed to mention the fact that I wanted to do this by myself, to be independent. Then I ran my fingers over the fabric and smiled, as my body warmed just thinking about what he had done.

"Has he seen the dress?" I asked Lilly.

"No, he just sent me the money. Then sent Bob to pick me up and he took me to the boutique so I could pick it up."

I shook my head in disbelief.

"You wanna try it on?"

Turning around, I nodded my head and beamed from ear to ear.

Pullingthe last strap over my shoulder, Lilly looked at me in the mirror as I ran my fingers over the dress.

"He really loves you, Eves."

I nodded, remembering what he'd asked me earlier. I stared at Lilly in the mirror, knowing I'd need to talk to her about it.

"He asked me to move in with him."

Her eyes got bigger, "Wow, Eves."

I knew how much of a big deal this was. It frightened the hell out of me, not because Kit had asked but because I was ready to jump.

"You deserve to be happy, Eves."

Turning around, I wrapped my arms around Lilly and she hugged me tightly.

"I love you, Lil'," I said, feeling all emotional.

"I love you too, you big bag of hormones."

We both laughed and once we pulled away from each other, I wiped a tear out of the corner of my eye.
