With a hint of jest, Maggie added, âI suppose the role of godmother has already been claimed by Karina.
Iâll gladly settle for the role of a favorite aunt.
â
Touched by the sentiment, Rosalynn reciprocated with a warm smile.
Their conversation was momentarily halted by Karinaâs arrival.
âHave you settled on a gown style?â Karina inquired.

Prompted by her question, they both raised their gazes, and with a playful tone, Rosalynn teased, âKarina, guess whoâs back?â
Karinaâs gaze landed on Maggie, surprise evident in her expression.
âMaggie?â
âLong time no see, Karina.
â Maggie rose, embracing Karina with a smile.
Delighted, Karina exclaimed, âMaggie, youâve switched to designing bridal gowns, huh?â
âYes, it was an unexpected twist,â Maggie admitted with a shy grin.
âThatâs splendid.
Carry on, you two, Karina encouraged before departing.
â
Maggie nodded in agreement, settled into her seat beside Rosalynn, and urged, âLetâs resume, shall we?â
âVery well,â Rosalynn concurred, and they seamlessly picked up their conversation where they left off.
Observing Maggieâs newfound enthusiasm and timely suggestions, Karina raised an eyebrow, visibly taken aback by the transformation.
It had only been a few months, but Maggieâs whole vibe had shifted dramatically.
It seemed that environment indeed shaped a person.
Could it be that immersion in bridal designs, amidst the joyous atmosphere of couples, had refined Maggieâs essence, imbuing her aura with a newfound sense of femininity?â Karina pondered.
âAlright, letâs proceed with your last suggestion,â Rosalynn concluded, sealing their discussion as she closed the bridal gown samples.
âUnderstood.
Rosalynn, donât hesitate to share any insights with me; Iâm open to adjustments at any time,â Maggie assured.
âAbsolutely,â Rosalynn affirmed.
As Maggie began gathering her belongings, she remarked, âIâll let you get back to your work.
â
Rosalynnâs brow furrowed slightly.
âLeaving already?â
Maggie was about to respond when Karina swiftly urged her back into the seat with a gentle yet firm touch.
âMaggie, youâve only just arrived.
Where do you think youâre off to? Stay a bit longer.
