The soft, warm lighting in the store made the clothes on the racks look more luxurious and inviting than they really were. The large mirrors had gold frames in the corners, each refracting the light in the room and creating small reflections. Dresses in shades of deep red, midnight blue, and elegant black were carefully arranged on the racks. Among the fabrics, lace embroidery, lustrous satins and silk textures that blended with the skin stood out. An elegant window arrangement embraced everyone who entered, as if to say, "You can't leave here without buying at least one thing.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CZNZvp8Y6
Although Scharline liked the general atmosphere of the store, she did not come here often. Shopping was often a practical necessity for him; he could hardly be called a fashionista. But Lisa... On the contrary, she approached shopping as a ritual. For her, it wasn't just about buying clothes, it was also a way of expressing herself.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKB86TSgee
Maybe Lisa's right, Scharline thought as she ran her fingers over a delicate fabric. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough to discover myself.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYXt8vJQOZ
She thought about why she had come to the shop. Lisa had texted her excitedly a few days ago:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEdbQX3JlU
"Scharline! No objections, we're going shopping this weekend. You need a new style and I'm the only one who can provide it! Don't resist, honey, resistance is a waste of time!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiZerbQinJ
Scharline hesitated at first, but Lisa's joy was hard to resist. Besides, maybe she really did need rejuvenation. Lately she had felt stuck - wearing the same clothes, going to the same places, thinking the same thoughts. A change would do her good.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVitkhssF2Z
Now here she was, wandering through the shelves, feeling a little strange. She was lost in the play of colors, fabrics and light. Lisa had already picked out a few dresses and was approaching her.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S8TlBxPVD
Lisa had her usual mischievous grin on her face. "Come on, Scharline," he said, looking at the tight, elegant black dress in her hand. "This will fit you perfectly! Especially if you wear it one day when you're in front of Ethan..."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWAcMxIph7
Scharline rolled her eyes, but couldn't hide the slight blush that spread across her cheeks. "This has nothing to do with Ethan, okay? " he said, but the incredulity in his voice made Lisa laugh.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m2PxAOTxK
"Of course not," Lisa said before rolling her eyes. "But you should try it anyway. Not just this one, but that red one too! " She quickly pulled another dress from the racks and placed it in Scharline's arms.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhZwgpPyqN
As they made their way to the dressing rooms, Lisa dropped the clothes she was holding and started looking for something. Scharline, meanwhile, tried on the first dress and examined herself in the mirror. The fabric fit her body perfectly, making her look taller and more elegant than she was. She turned around and looked at the low back of the dress. Just then she heard Lisa's voice.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIufIKO2fA
"I found it!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi34vMM5s0M
Scharline poked her head through the curtain and saw Lisa holding a delicate, lace lingerie set. Scharline's eyes widened.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtg968tUKj
"Lisa, no! " he whispered, afraid the others would hear.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SD9ljqwYJ
Lisa rolled her eyes. "Come on, Scharline. This underwear is just as important as the clothes. If you want to be confident, you have to start on the inside."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4AahKDQDp
Scharline sighed and straightened the dress. "Who do you think will see me in this? Will I buy it for myself or show it to someone?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJjT2IrOXz
Lisa narrowed her eyes and approached with a mischievous smile. "Good question," she said. "But what if you have to model someday? Or what if Ethan asked you what you would look like if you could be that brave?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQhT6diuEH
Scharline was stunned. "Lisa! I'm not a model, why would that happen?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinLUloWz4A
Lisa shrugged. "Not now, but why not? You have a beautiful body, a natural grace, and you wear clothes well. It's not just me, everyone sees it."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkqXOtWb9z
Scharline looked at her reflection. She had never thought of it that way before.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31WjMmEZH5
Lisa continued, her voice soft but sincere. "How do you see yourself, Scharline? Do you want to be noticed, or will you always be in the shadows?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOobDoXUR6o
Scharline paused, Lisa's questions went deeper than she had thought. Did she really want to be noticed one day? And even if she did, how would that happen?77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTlLM6CJHE
Lisa noticed her hesitation and smiled, pointing to the dress. "Isn't it time to start noticing yourself instead of just looking?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJaEv342NZ
Scharline took a deep breath and reached for the underwear Lisa was holding. He smiled slightly. "Okay, maybe I should give it a try..."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSJYRz28Gu
Lisa clapped triumphantly. "That's my girl!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98m3JaSjgn
It was then that Scharline realized something. Even though Lisa sometimes seemed to go too far, she was the one who understood her best. And maybe Lisa was right... Maybe it was time for her to be noticed.
Scharline felt strange for a moment as she stood in front of the mirror in the dressing room. The red, thin lace underwear she was wearing hugged her body, and the feel of the light fabric against her bare skin tickled her. She put her hands on her stomach, turned slightly to the side and studied her reflection.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnedERdWiv7
Just then, Lisa's voice sounded impatient outside the cabin.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lxGJ6WpMb
"Come on, Scharline, let me see you! I'm sure you look like a rock."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrMnbhrJLC
Scharline frowned as she pulled back the curtain and stuck her head out. "Lisa, can't you be patient? Besides, no one needs to see your underwear."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhyWYwR7Wa
Lisa giggled and slid inside. "Oh, honey, why do you think that? Look at you! You could have a lingerie fashion show."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nSfsOghZ2
Scharline rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous, Lisa, I'm not a model."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOjUoVvGZu
Lisa looked her up and down, bit her lip, and shook her head in amusement. "I don't know if you are or not, but I think it's time to awaken the wild woman in you. Besides, why don't we have some fun?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1T6PcTCvR
Scharline crossed her arms. "What do you mean?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY6zSSIKXI
Lisa held up the phone and struck a pose. "Come on, I'll give you some nice pictures, but I promise I won't send them to anyone!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE6kg3gShY
Scharline raised his eyebrows and gave her a suspicious look. "Lisa, you don't reassure me."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTkpiS4fGy
Lisa burst out laughing. "Honey, I'm not sending them to anyone! We're just having fun. Besides, don't you want to see yourself from the outside? Maybe you won't show Ethan, but... at least it would be nice to see yourself from a different angle."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nU8Y6r4Cx
Scharline took a deep breath, trying to shake off the slight discomfort of her underwear. "Okay, fine, but if I do anything stupid, we'll erase it right away, okay?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRcINFxqar
Lisa grinned triumphantly and picked up the phone. "Okay, great! Now first, put one hand on your waist and turn your hips slightly to the side. Your hips, honey, look like a work of art."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVx74KSKko
Scharline felt her cheeks flush. "Lisa!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyub5Cpy39z
Lisa winked. "What? I'm just complimenting you. Okay, now let's be a little more daring... Lean slightly against the wall and throw your hair back with one hand. That's it! Oh, Scharline, Ethan would go weak in the knees if he saw you like that.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0BuzjB8Hg
Scharline found it hard not to laugh at Lisa's jokes. She was both embarrassed and a little excited. At Lisa's suggestion, she tried a few more poses, but in her heart she thought that maybe Lisa was right about some of what she said. Maybe she should have seen herself differently...77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKrhEOtf1T
After taking a few pictures, Lisa looked at the screen and turned to Scharline with a broad grin. "See if you can say something about her again."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIF8BzPGl9
Scharline took the phone from Lisa and studied the screen. It was silent for a few seconds. The image she saw was unfamiliar - she had never seen herself like this. It was then that she remembered what Lisa had said: Isn't it time to know yourself?77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvv41du61h
Finally, she smiled slightly and gave the phone back to Lisa with a nod. "Well... maybe it wasn't so bad after all."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINSYtcuiwI
Lisa burst out laughing. "Look at me, Scharline, after a few tries you'll have a model in you! Tell me, what are you going to do if Ethan 'accidentally' gets one of these photos?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiXUvgweAb
Scharline quickly slapped Lisa's arm. "Lisa! Don't!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkWCXJENUy
Lisa laughed and threw her hands up in the air. "Okay, okay! But what can I say? It would be a sin to show it to the world when your butt looks so great!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomcakXmZoj
Scharline took a deep breath and couldn't help but smile. Even though Lisa sometimes got into trouble, he always found a way to give her confidence. And maybe it really was time to be a little braver...
As Scharline took another look in the mirror, she realized she still couldn't get used to seeing herself like this. Her red lace underwear sat elegantly against her skin. The lightness of the fabric and the way it hugged her body felt both strange and oddly comforting. But there was still a shyness inside of her.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCJWwNtlsN
Lisa glanced at the photos on her phone and looked up, giggling. "Honey, you don't do yourself justice. You look like a goddess! Believe me, if someone saw you like this, I swear they couldn't help themselves."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju5d1P9110
Scharline rolled her eyes, but Lisa's words brought an involuntary smile to her face. "Lisa, could you tone down the compliments, it's just underwear."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkoxQmj9Ep
Lisa sighed exaggeratedly and shook her head from side to side. "Oh, poor Scharline. Here I am trying to light the fire in you and you still say 'it's just underwear'. Darling, it's a work of art. And the body that wears it? That's more than art!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YGHk7pbtV
Scharline gave Lisa a wary look. "Okay, okay. I've already tried it on, you could see it, we had fun, now can I go back to my normal clothes?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbOHGZBtNC
Lisa took a step towards her and shook her head from side to side. "No, no. We're not done yet. Now we come to the most important thing... Courage."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxYQvHHraB
Scharline raised her eyebrows. "Courage? What are you talking about?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94XvOHmjTx
Lisa suddenly stepped back and placed a hand on Scharline's waist. Leaning in slightly, she whispered in a low voice, "Just look in the mirror and see the difference. Stand a little straighter, drop your shoulders and feel your confidence.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc7gBwc5Nk
Scharline involuntarily obeyed Lisa's words. She relaxed her shoulders slightly, lifted her head a little and looked at her reflection again.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq8F7TsCT8
Sliding her hands down from her waist, Lisa gently touched Scharline's buttocks, her fingers lightly pressing and squeezing.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV9k7SGmZQ
Scharline's eyes widened, startled. "Lisa! What are you doing? " she said, but her voice sounded more surprised than stern.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt97fb86VH
Lisa grinned with satisfaction before rolling her eyes. "What's wrong, honey? You can't have these buttocks and not be proud of them! Seriously, Scharline, incredibly shapely! Instead of hiding that beauty, why don't you show it off a little more?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvLQkOuRYR
Scharline held her breath and took another look at her reflection. Lisa's hands were still pressing lightly on her buttocks, but Scharline suddenly remembered what Lisa had said: Why don't you make it stand out a little more?77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvJ8nzxA7N
Lisa continued, as if to provoke him even more. "Imagine... if Ethan were here and he saw you like this. What do you think he would do?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntYvIZ1g5t
Scharline felt her cheeks heat up, but before Lisa could shut her up, she continued: "I think his first reflex would be to put his hands on your waist and pull you towards him. Then... Oh, Scharline, just the thought is dangerous!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgDiAsQX0V
Scharline pictured Lisa's words in her mind for a moment and blinked quickly. "Lisa! I don't even want to imagine it! " she said, her voice shaking slightly.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47gYcGzqHB
Lisa burst out laughing. "Sure, sure. But the look on your face says something else."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Fw56LaAW
Then she leaned in again and whispered in a low voice, "You know, before they walk the runway, models look at themselves in the mirror to feel their confidence. They know every curve of their bodies. You need to do the same, Scharline. Know your own beauty."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVXLQltjnz
Lisa patted her thigh again before pulling her hand away. "You should start modeling for the sake of these thighs! It's a shame."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxcGSHBsWD
Scharline shook her head, laughing inwardly at Lisa's casual attitude. "Lisa, you're a pain in the ass."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K3GwKeOve
Lisa shrugged and winked at her. "And you're starting to discover the real Scharline in you. You can't blame me for that."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviqafGGYsX
As Scharline looked into the mirror again, Lisa's words continued to echo in his head. The shyness inside him was slowly dissolving... And maybe Lisa was right. Maybe it really was time to realize himself.
Scharline looked at her reflection again after Lisa's touch. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but it wouldn't be right to say it was just because of her underwear. Something was stirring inside her. Lisa's words implied more than they said - especially her insistence on self-discovery.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmgKK6lbSa
Lisa blinked and smiled when she realized he was still thinking. "You know what, Scharline? " she said sarcastically. "Remember last weekend on the beach with Braun when he hugged you from behind? Were you nervous then, too, or... did you feel a little different?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmy7vpGJlm
Scharline frowned and looked at Lisa. "Why are you bringing up that moment now? " she muttered, but she understood what Lisa was trying to do.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6nHUqhdME
Lisa touched her shoulder lightly and tilted her head to the side. "Because I want to know how your body reacted in that moment, what you felt. When Braun's arms wrapped around you that day, when he put pressure on your buttocks... What went through you?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXcH2UoyTn
Lisa's question took Scharline back a moment. The golden sand glistening in the sun, the smell of sea salt on Braun's skin, the warm breeze caressing her body... And what she remembered most was Braun's strong arms around her waist. At that moment, it seemed like just a pose for a photo, but her body felt his pressure in a very different way.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IagPQj5Xp
She took a deep breath. "It was strange," she whispered. "I mean, Brown is someone I know. It should have been natural for him to touch me, but that day... it was different."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYDL9fKZXH
Lisa shook her head slightly. "Different?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9EG85vfSa
Scharline continued to describe herself as she looked into the mirror. "My body reacted to him. I didn't want to realize it at the time, but... something stirred inside me. It was like a feeling between strange and familiar. When I felt my hips pressed against him, my heart accelerated. It was as if I was trapped in this moment - I didn't want to leave, but I didn't know what to do.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvJgBjvsie
Lisa smiled, then moved behind Scharline and put her hands on his waist. "So how do you feel now? " she said quietly. Slowly she slid her hands down and lifted Scharline's buttocks slightly.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ns8BGupz7
Scharline suddenly took a deep breath. "Lisa... what are you doing?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHNdb3sTlg
Lisa whispered, giggling playfully. "I'm just making you feel. I want you to listen to what your body is telling you."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs3ZBpQczu
Scharline involuntarily continued to stare at her reflection in the mirror as she felt the light pressure of Lisa's hands. Something inside her told her to explore the feelings she had suppressed for years. Under Lisa's influence, she felt everything become much clearer.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZdxFRzT7S
Lisa rested her head lightly on Scharline's shoulder and whispered softly. "Don't just think with your mind, Scharline. Listen to your feelings. Give yourself permission."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETTNOaXJlX
And at that moment, Lisa planted a light, delicate kiss on the side of her cheek.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02H9c9EElB
Scharline blinked with a sudden feeling of warmth. Her heart was racing. Lisa wasn't forcing her to do anything, but rather opening a door for her - a chance to discover herself.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzuK1LmlIj
Smiling slightly, Lisa stepped back and looked into her eyes. "How about stretching your limits a little? " she whispered. "Sometimes taking a step is the only way to get what you want."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFxGQb14w9
Scharline paused for a moment. As he struggled with the complex emotions rising within him, he saw the honest look in Lisa's eyes. Courage, confidence, and perhaps a long-suppressed desire to explore.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhoBJUBbIF
And maybe Lisa was right. It was time to discover himself.
