The woman’s platinum blonde hair had been coiffured in a French pleat. Elaborate waves and soft curls framed her face. Her perfectly plucked eyebrows matched the rich brown of her long eyelashes. Her ocean green eyes appraised Nikki with interest and perhaps a hint of something else. Time had left a few lines around her mouth, but no blemishes marked her flawless skin.

A black cocktail dress hugged curves in all the right places, and the low neckline emphasised a cleavage that would be the envy of many females.
“Do I meet with your approval?” A throaty chuckle followed the words.
