Mina looked over at the clock on her nightstand and figured it was time to experiment with hair styles. She had never been to or worked for a charity banquet but judging by the dress that CEO Rue had sent for her, Mina knew she had to at least try to look her best.
Mina was standing in front of the vanity when she heard an excited Luna come rushing into her room.
"Mina, look what I found!" Luna shouted. Mina dashed out from the closet, thinking that Luna may have found her missing gown, but she was instantly disappointed.
The dress that Luna was holding did favor the color of the one Mr. Rue had sent, but it was definitely not the same dress. There were no gemstones, and it had the look of something mass produced.
"You don't like it?" Luna said dejectedly. She knew the dress was nowhere near as beautiful as the one Mina had lost, but she thought that Mina would look amazing in gold, and she at least wanted to try and make up for her loss.
"I probably can't afford it," Mina said.
