The small store was quiet as Derek and Sonya entered the shop. They
glanced around and saw that many of the shelves were completely bare.
"Not much to choose from," Sonya said, dismayed. "And I was hoping
we'd find some really interesting stuff here."
"I'm sure there's something we can find," Derek reassured her. "If
this store is what we think it is, everything in here does something
related to transformation."
"Hey, look at this." Sonya brought Derek into an almost empty aisle
with a few animal care accessories. Among the occasional fur brush and
leash, there was one single black leather collar. It had a red ruby
fixed inside a gold setting in its center, and a gold buckle.
Sonya looked longingly at the collar then she looked at Derek with sneaky look in her eyes... but he wasn't looking in her direction, instead he was looking at a Mermaid Costume.
Sonya felt jealousy rising inside her heart, she was much pettier then
any girl in that Mermaid Costume could ever dream of. Without any thought as to buying it anymore, she grabbed the Collar and put it in
her purse and went to drag Derek out of the store but then stops when
he picks up the Mermaid Costume... only to see Sonya's heartbroken
expression, "I trusted you, you lying cheating bastard!" Sonya yelled
at him, "We are through!?!"
And with that said she stormed out of the store with her purse held a
little bit higher on her shoulder.
