*****
An unsuspecting Alice Wilson shopped happily for a prom dress while in the city. She had gone alone. He mother had planned to go along, but was not feeling well at the last moment. It was too late to get a school friend to go, so Alice had gone alone. She enjoyed shopping alone anyway. She had a sense of style that really did not need any validation from friends. And her budget would allow almost anything she wanted in a dress. Alice hoped to get both the shoes and the dress in one trip. Walking happily through the mall she saw prom dresses displayed in at least half the store windows. She almost missed the one she actually bought. She had walked slowly by a window looking at dresses in that window, completely missing the pale green gown on the other side of the mall. Then something seemed to almost speak to her, telling her to look over her shoulder at THAT dress. Alice turned, saw the pale green floor length gown, and fell in love with it. It was little lower cut in the front (and in the back) than Alice actually had in mind. But when she tried it on the image in the mirror was stunning. So Alice bought the dress without even trying on anything else. She was actually considering wearing it to try on shoes, but of course that couldn't actually be done.
