"Dorian. Are you trying to humiliate me?" The look on her face is just priceless. My own smile is as close to innocent as I can possibly manage, standing just out of her reach with her clothes in my arms.
"Oh, Jane. If I were trying to humiliate you, it'd be a bit more obvious." And by God it would. "I'm trying to do my job, which sometimes involves dramatic intervention." I set her clothes on the counter and come back, arms crossed. "If transformation were easy, everyone would do it. Now if you want to stay 'just the pie girl', I'll give you your clothes back and you can be on your way. If not, stop being so damn stubborn and just try on the dress."
