Mandy was not the sort of girl who tended to wear dresses or gowns. She didn't really like shopping or all of the effort most people went through in order to attended these sort of functions. Still, she had been rather excited to go with Michael, and it was for a charity after all. In the end it had taken no more than a half an hour of shopping, as Mandy quickly found something that looked halfway decent and wasn't going to embarrass her date. It was rather sparkly, and the shimmering gold dress did fit the Winter Wonderland theme quite well. What Mandy truly hadn't anticipated was Michael's reaction. So when Michael commented on her dress as he picked her up, Mandy ended up blushing most and stuttering a brief thank you.
"They really did. It's lovely," Mandy commented, finally finding her voice as they gazed at the hall in front of them. She turned back to looked at Michael, completely forgetting she was still holding on to his arm. "Quite fitting with the theme as well."
