A woman in a light purple dress stood behind them with a confused expression. "What brings you here, Lucas?"

"Nothing in particular," Lucas replied curtly, releasing Melody.

The woman approached Melody and sized up the latter with a smile. "That dress is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. I was told it had been reserved when I tried to order one. Who would've thought that I'd see it or someone here."

Melody knew that Lucas had chosen an expensive dress, but she did not think that it would be that limited. "I'm just borrowing it for the evening," she explained.

The woman smiled faintly. "I see."

Something in the woman's natural-sounding tone seemed to make Melody a little uneasy. There was a subtle hostility that Melody could not quite place her finger on. They had never met before, so that beckoned the question of why the woman was showing such animosity toward her. A sudden thought occurred to her, and she glanced at Lucas with a brewing suspicion that he was the reason.
