Every article of clothing he picked up fit her as if it were made only for her. No matter how she argued, he continued to throw clothes at her, picking out his favorites while creating a large discard pile near her feet. She agreed to one set of clothes, but he insisted on more, simply because he thought they flattered her. In the end, the bill from the posh little boutique totaled more than her last two paychecks combined. Lily tried to argue, to demand that the clothing go back and they find the nearest department store, but he ignored her in favor of handing over one of the many credit cards tucked inside his wallet. To further her financial discomfort, he insisted on buying shoes in a neighboring store to match the clothes, and lunch on the river at an upscale restaurant she never would have imagined entering while alone. With the money he spent, Lily had a hard time being angry with him over the issue of his nature. Instead she chose to be angry with him for not appreciating the value of money, and for throwing it around to impress her.
