❝You’re right. I’m lucky though ‘cause when I’m not looking after myself, Xander will check up on me.❞ Lots of people aren’t that observant so she is grateful that she has a partner who is. Since they have children that kind of thoughtfulness is essential to their relationship.
“Indeed, that’s quite a bit of luck. It’s nice that you have someone so willing to check in on you just in case. There’s nothing quite like having that backup and support available to you.”
❝Yeah, it’s pretty great. It’s my go to place to shop…when I get to shop for myself.❞ Rosemary smiles as she fondly looks at the shorts in her hands. ❝Most of the time I go shopping, it’s for my kids. I love getting stuff for them but sometimes I neglect myself a bit.❞
“Ah I understand.” It only made sense that Rosemary would mostly be shopping for her kids. “All the more important that you remember to take time to get some nice things for yourself. It’s all too easy to forget yourself a bit.”
❝You didn’t miss anything.❞ Rosemary has a half smile on her face as she motions to the long line in front of her. ❝I guess this store is pretty popular.❞
“Right, I guess I can see that.” They responded with a small grin. “With clothing like this though, I understand why people would return.”
Rosemary nods as she holds the shorts close to her chest. ❝Wonderful! I’ll go ahead to the cashier, you can join me when you’re done changing back into your clothes.❞
“Cool. I’ll see you in a few.” Once in the fitting room, Saima changes back to their original outfit. It only is a few minutes before they are leaving and joining Rosemary at the cashier.
❝Gosh, you really can pull off every color can’t you?❞ Rosemary giggles as she steps closer so she can better examine their blouse. ❝I think you should get it, it’s super cute.❞
They only chuckle a little bit in response. “I do like a wide variety of colors. So I would at least try to fit things that suit me.” Standing still, they let Rosemary get a closer view. “I’m glad it looks so nice. I think I will get it.”
Rosemary only had the one piece to try on, so when she finishes putting on her clothes she steps out of the room and awaits Saima outside.
Saima steps out to see what Rosie thinks of the blouse. They idly fiddle with the cloth. “It feels really comfortable and soft. Which is something I always like in a shirt.”
Rosemary nods as she steps back into her fitting room. ❝Okay, I’m going to change back into my dress. Let me know when you’re done trying it on.❞
“Cool. I will let you know.” Stepping back into the fitting room, Saima changed back into their original pants- now trying on their blouse. It was a light green and had nice dark green border.
❝Oh yeah? I almost forgot I was wearing them.❞ Rosemary thinks that’s a pretty good sign that she should buy them. ❝Did you have anything else you need to try on?❞
“Heh, nice. I think I might have to try on this blouse that I would like to check it out.”It was something that they had noticed while browsing and figured that they would give it a shot.
As Saima gets dress, she puts on the pair of shorts she selected. Much to her relief they both look good and fit well too. She also admires herself in the mirror until she hears her friend stepping out of the fitting room. The moment she sees how they look she is thrilled. ❝Oh my goodness, Saima! That looks gorgeous.❞
Rosie’s reaction brings a smile to Saima’s face as they pose for her a few times. “I’m glad you think it looks good. It feels really nice too. ” Noticing the shorts that Rosie has on and nods in approval. “Those look pretty good too.”
Rosemary smiles as she walks to the store’s changing area. ❝Okay, I’ll be in the fitting room next to yours. Knock when you put something on because I wanna see it!❞
“Alright then,” Saima returns with a small smile as they head over to the changing areas too. For some time, they had actively avoided such places in public and even now they have a bit of trepidation – but they have to try on these new items. Just to see their look.
“I’ll be sure to let you know when I get something on.“ Once inside the changing room, they quickly get into the dress they had been looking at. It fits in a smooth comfortable way, just the way that they like. A few twirls in the mirror inside of the booth before they go to let Rosie see.
