Dahlia reached up and looked at the price tag and her eyes got really big. "It is so pretty, but I can't spend near that much." She said with a frown.
"Well, if it's OK with you, Maria, I have a few errands to run. Would it be alright to leave her here to shop, And I'll return later and settle the bill. I'm afraid I'm kind of useless here anyway!" I added to not sound so enthusiastic. "I think she probably needs a fitting too."
"That would be fine. We can take care of that." She took Dahlia by the shoulder and looked at her smiling. "Why don't we try and find you just what you are looking for?"
She looked back at me and said "Don't worry at all. We will have a great time trying on outfits and having a girls shopping day!"
"OK! Thanks! Dahlia, I'll be back in about an hour."
