Wait to get home

Lauren walked to the counter and plopped the costume onto the table.

"I'd like this one please," she said.

The old woman scanned the tag. "$50 for the costume dear," she said.

"That's a bit on the expensive side," Lauren said, "Spencer's sells their French Maid costumes for $25. Can you go cheaper?"

"It'll give you and your boyfriend fun for as long as you want it to," the old man said.

The old woman nodded, "Also our costumes are 100% authentic. I hand sew each one."

That sold Lauren, "Well support your local businesses." She slammed a $50 bill into the counter and waited patiently for the woman to hand her the costume. She walked out with the costume hidden in a paper bag ready to please her "master". The thought gave her pleasurable shivers.

When she reached her and her boyfriend's apartment he was gone. It wasn't out of the question for him to go hang with coworkers after work. She laid the costume onto the bed and marveled at it.
