She starts to shop

Aurelie finished her tea, ignoring the glances from the chess players, then rose and strolled out of the plaza towards the shopping district. As she had expected, most of the boutiques were not open, but she lingered and window shopped, enjoying the high end fashion on display.

She was looking into the window of a shoe store, admiring some silver and black heels, when the door opened and a pretty middle aged woman wheeled a sidewalk sign out.

"We're open, if you want to come in and look," she smiled at Aurelie, holding the door open in invitation. With a smile of thanks Aurelie entered the store, wandering towards a display of shoes on a round table.

"The pumps in the window you were admiring just came in," the woman said. "I'm sure we have your size if you'd care to try them on."

Aurelie nodded happily and gave her shoe size, continuing to browse until the woman returned. She sat down and let the older woman help her put on the heels, before standing to admire them in a mirror. They looked stunning, and very sexy with her skinny jeans. She grinned at the look of them before turning.

"I'll take them," she said. "I'll wear them now."
