Look for a more modest one-piece option that still flatters your new figure. But thoughts of that emerald bikini and how David would react to it will not go away so buy it too. Just so you have some options

You scan the selection of swimwear Vanessa has brought over, your eyes lingering on the emerald bikini that would leave very little to the imagination. It's gorgeous—and would absolutely make David's jaw drop—but you're not quite ready to go full exhibitionist.

"Do you have any one-pieces that are flattering but a bit more... modest?" you ask, surprising yourself with how naturally the question flows in your lilting Irish accent.

Vanessa nods understandingly. "Of course! Not everyone wants to bare it all." She sorts through her selections and pulls out a sleek navy one-piece with strategic cutouts along the sides. "This offers more coverage while still highlighting your petite frame."

You take the navy swimsuit, admiring how the fabric feels substantial yet luxurious against your fingers. The cutouts would show just enough skin to be interesting without making you feel exposed.

"That's perfect," you say with relief.

"Try them both on," Clara encourages, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Options are important."

In the changing room, you slip into the navy one-piece first. The mirror reveals how it hugs your curves while maintaining an air of sophistication. The side cutouts offer glimpses of your freckled skin without being overtly sexual.

"That looks amazing," Clara calls from outside. "Very French Riviera chic."

You snap a quick photo to show David later, then hesitate before reaching for the emerald bikini. Something about that tiny scrap of fabric both terrifies and intrigues you. Under Comfort Mode's influence, curiosity wins out.

The emerald bikini is even smaller on your body than it appeared on the hanger. The top barely contains your push-up enhanced cleavage, while the bottoms sit high on your hips, making your legs look impossibly long despite your petite stature. Your freckled skin contrasts beautifully with the vibrant green.

"Oh my god," you whisper, hardly recognizing the woman in the mirror—confident, sexy, almost provocative.

"Let me see!" Clara demands, pulling back the curtain without waiting for permission. Her eyes widen appreciatively. "Holy shit, Mia! David would literally combust if he saw you in that."

The mental image of David's reaction sends an unexpected thrill through you. You turn, examining how the bikini bottoms showcase your small but perky backside.

"I'll take both," you decide, the words tumbling out before you can overthink them. "The one-piece for actually swimming, and the bikini for... options."

Clara smirks knowingly. "'Options.' Sure."

As you change back into your blue wrap dress, you can't help but imagine scenarios where you might wear that tiny emerald bikini. A private pool? A secluded beach? Just for David in the flat?

Where did that last thought come from?

You emerge from the changing room with both swimsuits in hand, still processing your own boldness. "Both, please," you tell Vanessa, who looks delighted by your decision.

"Excellent choices! The navy is timeless, and that emerald was made for your coloring."

As she rings up your purchases, Clara leans in close. "We should grab lunch. I'm starving, and you must be too after all this shopping."

Your stomach growls in agreement, reminding you that breakfast was hours ago.
