As they passed a rack of shimmering evening gowns, Jessica hesitated. Something on the far side of the store caught her eye. She bit her lip and turned toward Enzo, her voice soft but determined. "Do they have a lingerie section here?"
Enzo stopped mid-step, blinking at her. "Lingerie?" His tone was more curious than judgmental, but Jessica could see the flicker of surprise in his eyes.
Jessica nodded, her cheeks already turning pink. "Yes... I mean, I read about it in one of my books. The girl in the story wore something really pretty, and..." She paused, her voice dropping to a whisper, "I want to look pretty for you."
The corner of Enzo's mouth quirked up in a rare, genuine smile. "Jessica, you look beautiful always," he said, brushing a strand of hair from her face.
She smiled shyly, but her resolve didn't waver. "Still... I want to try."
