With smiles all around, they followed her inside.
The store was spacious, and they moved slowly from one display to the next, picking out clothes as they went.
Rosalynn paused in front of a display featuring a dark red gentlemanâs overcoat on a model.
Brian usually preferred darker colors.
This bold choice was a rarity in his wardrobe.
She pictured him in the coat, a smile spreading across her face as she imagined how it would refresh his look.
Her heart warmed at the thought, and she reached out to take the coat.
Coincidentally, Karina also stretched out her hand to do the same.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
âYou like this one too?â
âYou like this one too?â
They spoke in unison, then shared another knowing smile.
âNo wonder weâre good friends.
We have the same taste!â Karina said, touching the fabric.
Rosalynn chuckled.
âHow about we buy the same style together?â
âSounds good.
â
Both women had the same thought.
Since Brian and Barlow were brothers, it wouldnât matter if they wore matching coats.
âWhat if I say I like this overcoat too?â Tilda came over, joining the conversation.
Rosalynn and Karina turned to look at her.
âTilda, you want to join us?â Karina asked.
Tilda smiled.
âThe color is festive.
Perfect for the New Year.
â
âI agree, itâs a great choice,â Maggie added quietly.
Karina grinned.
âWe really do have the same taste! Are all our men the same size? If we all buy this coat, itâll look Like a model show when they walk down the street together.
â
They all imagined the scene- four handsome men, all in good shape, striding down the street in matching overcoats.
The thought made them laugh, the shared vision of their men turning heads and drawing admiration.
âWeâre definitely doing this.
Letâs have them wear it at the party!â
