I spin back around. “I already have a dress. I need a different dress?”
He nods. “A fancier one.”
“I’m intrigued,” I say, playfully narrowing my gaze at him.
He smirks. “You’ll see soon enough. Now, go get changed so we can get out of here.”
I hurry back into the dressing room to change into the dress I came in, but I’m only in there for a few seconds before there’s a knock at the door.
“It’s me,” Killian says.
I open the door just a tad and peek out suspiciously. “Can I help you?”
“Let me see that black dress again, the lace one you liked.”
I grab the dress and hand it to him.
He rips the tag off, then hands the dress back. “I’m buying this one, too. Put that on so we don’t have to go back to the hotel before our next stop.”

I’m feeling spoiled as hell when we finally leave Dare and Aubrey and head off to do our own thing for the rest of the day.
Killian bought me two new dresses, a new pair of heels, a new coat, and a Chanel bag because he saw me eyeing one when Aubrey was picking out hers, and he didn’t want me to leave empty-handed when she was getting a new bag.
I guess having a double shopping date worked out for me.
I feel like I’m living someone else’s life when we get in the car and head back toward our hotel. When the driver takes the same turns and the hotel comes into view, I look over at Killian.
“I thought you said we weren’t going back to the hotel.”
“We’re not,” he says, watching out the window.
“Then where are we…?” My question dies as the driver pulls up to let us out.
At the opera house.
I already feel a spike of excitement, and then he says, “How about a tour?”
From the moment we walk in, I am entranced.
To say the place is beautiful would be a massive understatement.
Killian takes my picture on the grand staircase, but I can’t stop smiling even when the camera is no longer pointed at me. We head upstairs and look out over the balcony, then we wander the magnificent halls.
Killian can’t be bothered to follow rules, so even though most of the doors out to the balcony on the front of the building are roped off, he finds the one that isn’t and pushes it open.
I’m not a rebel, so I look around, paranoid that we’ll get into trouble. “What are you doing?” I whisper to him. “I don’t think we’re supposed to go out there.”
“Come on,” he says, going outside anyway.
“You’re going to get us banned.” I look hastily over my shoulder, but seeing no one to stop us, I hurry out there with him.
The balcony feels private with nobody else out here, and it overlooks the busy street so there’s a nice view. Since we’re staying right next to it, I can even see the balcony of our hotel room from here.
“Look.” I point at it, glancing back at Killian with a smile. “Should we get a picture on the balcony in front of our balcony?”
“You’re such a nerd.” He smirks, shaking his head, but drawing his phone out anyway. “Sure.”
