Although the car had parked, she still didn't turn it off. Leaning back against the seat, she closed her eyes for a moment and sighed. The harsh sounds of 'Sonne Undone' continued to play, through her car making the floor vibrate with how loud it was. She still hadn't got used to being away from home, despite it having been over a month. Her car, her apartment, it didn't feel right. She had put up her posters, and put together her Ikea furniture, but it didn't even feel like a home. At least Wesker and Isaac were making her feel better, she had never really had pets of her own before. The fact that they seemed happy made her proud of herself.
With a turn of the key, she let the engine die down as she grabbed her sunglasses. Opening the door, a rush of humid heat washed over her. Summer was a month away yet it was already this hot. Melisande wasn't looking forward to August if it was going to get hotter than this. But she couldn't dwell on the weather. Getting out of the car, she shut and locked the door of her VW Bug. It was a 2010 model, and bright cherry red. Used, of course. Melisande could certainly not afford a new one, but Uncle Armand had helped her haggle out a deal. It would take a while to pay off, but the car was worth it. He had insisted she would want a convertible, though she left the top up most the time, Melisande had learned the hard way that the rain in Florida was unpredictable.
Meli loved her car. But today she had a goal! She was on a conquest! Slipping her keys in her pocket she looked around the shopping center. As usual, the 'Toys “r” Us' was near a mall. Typical. She briefly looked towards the Pier 1 Imports and made a mental note to check for decorations. Though she doubted she would find anything she liked. Melisande was being terribly indecisive when it came to her home. Today she was more interested in one thing only. Decorating her desk.
Walking briskly towards the store, Melisande did her best to ignore the families and kids. Children were... Problematic. She never really knew what to do with them, having been raised surrounded by adults all her life. They stressed her out, and Melisande didn't like that. She could ignore them though as she made a beeline for the girl's section. She had been planning this for a while. Her desk at home looked so bare. Sure she had a few toys scattered about for Isaac and Wesker, and of course there was her computer. But it was so... Boring.
It was only now that she thought about getting a cart. Hm. Well, she didn't really need one, Melisande had only intended on picking up a couple of blind bags before work, but she had enough time to browse, and that rarely ended well.
