Sarah gently took Ethan's hand, her fingers intertwining with his as she guided him toward the entrance of Elegant Essentials.
Ethan hesitated for a moment, uncertainty flickering across his features like a passing shadow, his gaze lingering on the sign that sternly prohibited males from entry.
Glancing through the mirrored glass of the shop, he noted the elegant displays of feminine attire beyond the threshold, a stark reminder of the store's exclusive focus on women's fashion.
However, Sarah's confident demeanor reassured him, and with a shrug, he followed her inside.
To his surprise, the staff didn't stop them at the door, and Ethan found himself stepping into the luxurious interior of the lingerie boutique.
Soft music played in the background, and the air was filled with the delicate scent of perfumed candles.
