“Nobody said you had to buy it.” Klaus grinned holding up a dress that Caroline would have put on the lingerie rack rather than dinner party rack.
Caroline barely glanced at him as she rifled through the dresses on the rack, “I’m not wearing it either.”
“Nobody said you had to wear it.” he shrugged without missing a beat, though he wasn’t quick enough to dodge the hanger (the closest thing that Caroline could reach) that was being thrown at him.
The blonde glared at him before turning her attention the mirror as she held up a dress she had picked out, judging whether or not she thought it would look good on her. “Can you just help me pick something out without being dirty? This is important to me, Nik.”
“You don’t have to dress up for them, you know.”
“Yes I am fully aware that I don’t have to make myself look presentable for your family,” she sighed as she put the dress back on the rack and picked out another one, “but I’m still going to. You know why?” Caroline didn’t wait for his response before continuing, “Because this is the first time they’re seeing us as a couple and they need to know that I’m not leading you on; that I’m as serious about us as you are. Can you just help me please? You’re supposed to be good at this.”
The hybrid grinned as he walked over to the rack next to her, pulled out a dress and handed it to her. “This one.”
“Thank you.”
