Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Elora’s sisters might find that the clothes they received didn't fit quite right— they were either too big or too small.

Only Elora’s clothes were a perfect fit.

What Elora didn't know was that Tatum had helped Alonzo pick out her clothes.

Tatum had a keen eye and had been observing Elora for some time.

He had a good sense of her measurements, and it turned out he was spot-on, which is why the clothes Alonzo bought for her fit perfectly.

The outfits Angelo chose for Elora and Tinsley were also just the right size.

As for the other future sisters-in-law, Tatum had seen them only briefly, if at all.

He hadn't met some of them yet, so he couldn't be sure about their sizes.

So, he let the two young ones shop for those on their own.
