Sam eyed Deiliha with a curious gaze, wondering what she was referring to. When she brought out the bag, Sam shifted in his spot. "You really didn't have to," he said. He parted the opening of the bag and peered inside. Pulling out the shirt, Sam sighed at how it felt against his skin, how soft and comfortable this piece of clothing was. He checked out the pants, admiring that they seemed to be specially tailored to him. There was a box too with shiny new shoes. Sam looked over his outfit with childlike excitement. "You really didn't have to get me anything," he said, but when he looked up, Deiliha was gone.
She was in the closet trying on a white dress. Sam raised an eyebrow. This was an ironic match. Sam looked down at his clothes again. Black was the color of demons, and because of that, angels were discouraged from wearing too much of it. Since becoming a man, he'd worn black, but not so much of it, not like this. Deiliha looked natural in white, and that gave the ex-angel pause. This demon commanded his color effortlessly, and Sam wondered what might have happened had they been born in different worlds.
Seeing that Deiliha was already prepared, Sam quickly got dressed. His clothes fit perfectly, but he expected no less from Deiliha. He modeled for her, and he laughed when she referred to him as her prince of light. "Not quite anymore," he murmured, and a sadness lingered with that thought. He shook his head. Approaching Deiliha, he grabbed a curl of her hair. "I think you look gorgeous," he said. "How am I supposed to compete?" He chuckled softly, then turned towards the door. "Did you decide where we are going?"
