Shane slips a pillow under her head.
He lies her head back.

Anna opens her eyes.
' Where am I ?' thought Anna rubbing her right eye.

Anna notices a white case on the table.
Anna walks to the table.

Anna opens the case.
Anna looks at the enormous total of money.

' Could this be.. Shane's house ?' thought Anna, ' When did he get this much money ?'

Shane sips his coffee, " A million."
Shane leans against the wall.

Anna smiles at Shane," Thank you."
" I'm not doing this for you. After this, you must pay me too."

Anna lowers her head.
Anna looks at Shane closing the case, " Is this your money ?"

" Yeah."
" ..I-I'm sorry ! I will pay you as soon as possible !"

Shane holds her shoulder, " let's go."
" Eh ?" asked Anna tilting her head.

Shane pulls her arm.

" Pink ?" asked Anna taking a hangar with a pink dress.
Shane shakes his head.

" What about blue ?" asked Anna smiling, trying to persuade Shane.
Shane notices the slight change of her expression, ' She likes blue.' thought Shane pulling the blue dress.

Anna smiles while taking her purse.
" I'll pay." said Shane.

Shane looks at her shoes.
" Change your shoes."

" But these are the only ones."
Shane walks away and back with a pair of blue high heels.

" Mr. Shane, what about you ?"
" No need."

" Owh." said Anna looking at the cashier.
" They're cute together." chuckled the woman beside the cashier.

Anna peeks at Shane.
Shane is still showing that face without expression.

Anna lowers her head.

Anna holds Shane's arm.
" Sorry." said Anna while trying to maintain balance with high heels.

" If your feet hurt, tell me. Don't force yourself."
" Okay.."

Anna's hand slowly slides from his arm to his hand.
Anna raises her head.

The guard looks at the couple passing himself.
The guard raises his phone.

" She's in."
