Chapter 87
I blinked in surprise. “A makeover? Why on earth would I need that?”
Aria nodded vigorously. “Because you’re going to dazzle everyone! We’ll pick out the perfect outfit,
m you up, and make sure you steal the spotlight.”
I chuckled, shaking my head. “Aria, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I’m not sure if a makeover is
necessary.”
Aria put her hands on her hips, giving me an incredulous look. “Evie,e on! It’s not about
necessity, it’s about having some fun and boosting your confidence.”
Thesitated, feeling both excited and uncertain about the idea. “I don’t know, Aria…”
Aria yfully nudged me. “Come on, Evie! It’ll be fun, I promise. And who knows, you might even
enjoy the change.”
I chuckled softly, giving in to her enthusiasm. “Alright, fine. But let’s keep it simple, okay?”
Aria pped her hands in victory. “Deal! Now, let’s raid your closet and see what we’ve got to work
with.”
As Aria started digging through my closet, I couldn’t help butugh at her determination. “You really
are something else, Aria.”
She looked up at me, a mischievous grin on her face. “That’s why you love me!”
I decided to get up and help her, pulling out various clothing articles until the closet was practically
empty. None of it really spoke to us. My entire wardrobe was consumed by dull browns and beiges.
Looking at it now, I knew I had to step up my game in the wardrobe department. Aria, my ever-
enthusiastic fashion guru, had taken it upon herself to transform my closet into a treasure trove of
chic possibilities. However, her efforts had left me staring at a sea of clothes that felt entirely foreign
to me.
“Aria, are you sure about this?” I asked, holding up the one blouse that seemed to have more
sequins than fabric.
Aria turned to me, her eyes lighting up at the sight. “That looks fierce! You have set of bottoms to
match?”

I sighed and red at her. “Aria, if I end up looking like a disco ball, I’m ming
you.”
Aria chuckled and tossed the sequin–heavy blouse aside. “No worries. How about we hit the mall
and find some more options?”

I nodded in agreement. “That sounds like a n. And maybe we can grab Penny to join us. She
might have an eye for these things from a media standpoint.”
“Good idea!” Aria said, already starting to shove clothes back in my closet. Part of me didn’t want
them to return there, especially after seeing the ndness behind them. Had my color scheme
always been this gloomy and t?
I settled back onto the bed and returned to sipping my tea before my phone chimed on the side
table. I flipped over the screen and nearly spat out my drink at the sight of Timothy’s name. Aria was
too preupied with fixing my closet to notice my brief disy of shock.
“I’m going to go to the bathroom real quick,” I uttered, speed walking toward the door across the
room.
Aria answered with a hum, but I was already locking myself inside by the time she turned around. I
leaned against the counter and unlocked the phone screen to see Timothy’s text:
Timothy: Sorry this iste! Had a really great time with you today! By the way, Penny sent these to
me and I figured you’d like to see them before she releases. them!
Beneath his text was a plethora of images, mostly consisting of Timothy and I, along with a few of
Aria and Lucas. Many of them were candid photos of usughing and ying with the dogs. One
photo in particr had Timothy and I in the center, crouched over abradoodle as it attempted to
pee in the water.
A smile graced my lips at the memory of Timothy rushing to ce the dog in the grass before it
could lift its legs any higher. I took my index and middle finger and zoomed in on Timothy’s face,
attempting to capture that beautiful smile in my memory. The imagery of his fit physique beneath
those wet clothes drifted back into my mind and I felt a light throb between my legs.
My warm fingers slid up my leg and met the rim of my night shorts. I teased at the material with my
thumb and bit my lip as I pictured those muscr arms

wrapping around my barren torso while he drove into me with a surprising vigor. That passionate
night between us never escaped me, but in that moment, I was feeling extra needy.
As my core began to ache, I felt my hand dive deeper, fully submerged over the cotton of my
underwear.
“Evie, did you fall in the toilet?”
snatched my hand just as quickly as it had made contact and leered over at the door. I had almost
forgotten Aria’s presence in the heat of the moment, and now I was stuck with the painful reminder
that she also wouldn’t be leaving any time
soon.
I washed my hands at the sink and sshed some water on my face, hoping it would cool my body.
I was still feeling tipsy with angst as I entered the room and threw myself back into bed.
What had my lifee to?
During breakfast the next morning, I texted Penny to see if she was avable. Soon enough, she
replied with an enthusiastic “Count me in!”
The three of us gathered at the mall, ready to tackle my interview attire crisis. Penny, with her cool
and collected demeanor, quickly took the reins, suggesting hair, makeup, and clothing options that
would suit the lighting and atmosphere of the interviewer’s recording studio.
Before I knew it, I found myself sitting in a nail salon, getting a manicure while Aria and Penny
discussed the strategy. I couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. This makeover
was way beyond myfort zone, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was venturing into
uncharted territory.
Next up was the hair and makeup session, and as I sat in the chair, I watched as the stylist worked
her magic. When I finally looked in the mirror, I was taken aback by the transformation. My hair
was styled in loose waves that cascaded over my shoulders, and my makeup was understated yet
elegant.
“Wow, I don’t even recognize myself,” I admitted.

Aria grinned. “That’s the whole point, Evie. It’s about being fit for TV.”
E-
With my hair and makeup done, it was time to tackle the most intimidating part of
–
the process the clothes. Aria and Penny helped me select a range of outfits, each one carefully
chosen to tter my figure and exude professionalism.
As I slipped into the first outfit, I couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement. The pea green blouse fit
perfectly, and the tailored pants made me feel more put- together than I had in a long time. Penny
nodded in approval. “Looking great, Evie. It’s the perfect bnce of style and sophistication.” As I
tried on different outfits, I felt a shift in my confidence. Each new ensemble seemed to bring out a
different facet of my personality. By the time we were done, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed
the process.
Our shopping spree came to an end, and I found myself standing in front of a mirror, gazing at the
transformed version of me. I had to admit, Aria and Penny had worked their magic. The clothes,
hair, and makeupbined to create a look that was both professional and stylish.
I turned to Aria and Penny, gratitude filling my heart. “Thank you, both of you. It never thought I’d
say this, but I actually feel ready for that interview.”
Aria grinned and linked arms with me. “That’s the spirit, Evie! You’re going to rock. that interview
and show the world the amazing person you are.”
Penny nodded in agreement. “You’ve got this, Evie. Just be yourself and let your confidence shine.”
I took onest look in the fitting room’s elongated mirror and touched my face. The tired circles
under my eyes had gone and my usually thin lips were plumped up with a ttering wine–red
lipstick.
How much of me was the world ready to see?
