When the worker returned with three boxes, Minne perched nervously on the small bench, her hands shaking just slightly as she tried to unlace her shoes. She fumbled with the laces, her nerves making the task harder than it should have been, and only managed to knot them tighter somehow.
Kim, watching with a soft smile, knelt beside her and gently took over. "Hey, no worries," she said, her fingers moving with ease as she untangled the laces. "I've got you."
"Alright, maid," Tessa said as Kim got up after helping Minne. "Let's try the badass boots first."
Minne slipped her feet in—the combat boots looked adorable and completely oversized on her delicate frame.
Jasmine tilted her head. "Cute, but too heavy for her. She looks like she's going hiking in Antarctica."
Minne stood, trying to walk, wobbling like a baby deer.
"Okay, next," Kim laughed.
They tried the brown suede ones next—Minne's eyes genuinely sparkled when she looked down at them.
