The sun was shining high in the sky as Cordelia finished flipping through the newspaper. She wasn't reading the articles, though, nor was she after her horoscope or the comics. No, she was looking at something much more important. The advertisements. Or, to be more specific, the department store advertisements.
She'd come to the decision the night before, when she'd realized while putting away Kathy's clothing in their closet that the poor girl only had the one dress she'd arrived in and a few items that Annie had parted with out of the kindness of her heart. It was time to take Angel's sister shopping. Not that this was a hard decision to reach, necessarily, but Cordelia had been avoiding coming to it if only because it meant convincing Angel to part ways with his credit card. And that was one of the hardest things in the world to accomplish. It ranked right up there with seducing the Pope and making sense of American politics.
Yet, she'd done it. And now, as the clock in the lobby began inching toward two, Cordelia was ready to go. She'd figured out what stores were having the best sales, she'd made a mental list of what items the girl desperately needed (which was pretty much anything and everything, at this point), and she'd double checked the fridge to make sure Angel had a fresh bag of blood so he had no need to go out to get some and 'randomly' happen by wherever she and Kathy might happen to be at the time.
Now, with her purse on her shoulder and Angel's credit card in her pocket, all Cordelia had to do was gather up Kathy and they could be on their way.
She found the girl in the garden and smiled as she stepped outside, watching the sunlight as it danced off Kathy's hair. "Hey," she said brightly, "ready to go? They're having some great deals going on and I figured we could grab a bite to eat while we're out, since we'll probably be a few hours. There are a ton of restaurants in the mall we're going to, so I'm sure we can find something you'll enjoy."
