Megan shot me a defiant look before turning to select a gown. Her taste was impeccable; she immediately gravitated toward the strapless champagne-colored gown I had displayed prominently.
The gown exuded elegance and sophistication with its strapless design that highlighted the collarbone, its fitted cut, and the countless tiny diamonds embedded in it. The lantern sleeves added an extra touch of grace.
It was a unique piece designed by a renowned designer, and the brand was called Stardust. Each diamond symbolized a star, representing eternal love.
Once upon a time, I, too, believed in eternal love, but now it seemed rather laughable. Rainy days never had stars, and my love was anything but eternal.
Megan circled the gown, a mysterious smile on her face.
"Rachel, can I wear this one?"
"This gown has been worn by me several times and isn't the latest style. You can choose something else. The new arrivals are in the east section; I haven't worn those."
"But I want this one. I don't mind if it's been worn before."
"And what about jewelry?" I asked, my tone growing colder.
Megan walked over to the jewelry area, and her eyes settled on my favorite diamond necklace.
