There were a number of things that Irene did when she was stressed. None of them involved talking to anyone else about her feelings. This could be considered a weakness and she didn’t want anyone to think of her as weak. Sometimes she sank into a bubble bath with a glass of wine. Sometimes she yelled in the foyer of her mansion at no one in particular. There were times when she’d smoke a cigarette in the garden. However, she’d found that spending money often suited her the best. She was always in need of the new fashions and today, Sterling and Halcyon seemed to be the place that had managed to capture her attention.
Irene walked into the store, a sigh of relief leaving her lips when she looked at the fashions that surrounded her. This really was the best therapy. Standing at one of the racks, she noticed Pansy and asked, “Do you do alterations here? Custom robes?”
