"I'm not sure I feel comfortable without one," I hesitated.

"Are you serious? Why not? This dress isn't see-through, and your figure is stunning," Sadie countered.

"I would feel naked," I confessed.

"This dress has a plunging back. What bra would you wear?" Sadie reasoned.

"I have the one with the cross straps around my waist," I offered.

Sadie shook her head. "Don't be ridiculous. Try this on without one."

I shrugged off her black silk robe, the familiarity between us making nudity a non-issue after years of friendship. Slipping into the dress, I adjusted the spaghetti straps.

"You look great. Check it out in the mirror," Sadie encouraged.

Walking over, I examined herself from different angles. The lack of a bra felt liberating, especially in the warm weather.

"I like it," I admitted, a smile creeping onto my lips.

Testing the fit, I bounced lightly on her heels, pleased with the lack of jiggling.

"I like it too. Wear your white sandals and leave your hair loose. Ty will love it," Sadie suggested.

"I'm not doing it for Ty. I'm doing it to feel comfortable," I clarified.

Sadie rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

"What are you doing today?" I inquired.

"Absolutely nothing. I want to sit around, watch television, and eat junk food. Maybe I'll call my parents," she replied.

"That's it?" I pressed.

"That's all. Enjoy your lunch with Ty. I'm taking a shower," Sadie declared, slipping out of the room.

As I leaned towards the mirror to apply some makeup, I opted for a light touch, given the heat. Leaving my hair cascading around my shoulders, I located my sandals. I paused just before reaching the door, realizing I had forgotten to put on panties. Chuckling to myself, I slipped on a pair of white lace boy shorts before heading out.

Arriving at The Iron Horse, I found Ty leaning casually against the building. His grin widened as I approached, enveloping me in a warm hug. I felt the soft press of his lips against my cheek, his nose buried in my hair as he held me close, his fingers tracing lightly over the bare skin of my back before releasing me.

"You look great," he complimented.

"So do you. I haven't seen you look this laid-back in ages," I observed.

He was wearing worn blue jeans with a frayed knee and a BattleAxe t-shirt from their recent tour. His hair seemed to have grown longer, brushing against the collar of his shirt. I ran my fingers through his locks before tugging gently at the back.

"You need a haircut," I remarked.

He smirked. "Haven't had the time."

I smoothed down his wavy hair. "I like it longer."

Ty raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"Yeah. You always get it cut so short. It looks better this way," I insisted, wrinkling my nose playfully.

"I'll take that under advisement," he replied with a playful grin.

"I'm starving. Let's head in," I declared, eager to satisfy my hunger.
