And then 2 days later, whilst chilling on the bench and watching the kids floating in the sea in the tubes, I received a call from her and said she has something from my wishlist that she would like to show to me. I appeared at the Hermes store a few hours later, this time with beach hair and sandals with sand and in the not so wrinkle free beach tunic that I had purchased prior. I walked into the store in the evening and this time, the store was full of customers. But suffice to say, I was still greeted by a few sales specialists even though they might have been with customers. This store has a great spirit. We found each other (the SS and me I mean) amidst the crowded 1st floor, and she quickly ushered me to the second floor (much more quiet) to wait for her and the box. Offered again sparkling water, which I drank gratefully. And when she reappeared with the box, we went to a table at one corner of the floor. I was again holding my breath and/or breathing in shallow waters, not good if you are trying not to faint. She was saying something but I couldn't understand because I was so focused on the box. And I saw at the side of the box, Kelly Cut! Yes! Then she said as she was opening the box that they do not have a red but... Out slid this reptile and I believed I let out a slight squeal. It was and still is so breathtakingly beautiful. I remember the sun shining through the glass on her when the SS held her every so gently with gloved hands and showing me the smooth porosus crocodile in colvert. As soon as we reached our hotel room, the hubby and I spent some time admiring her before storing it away in the hotel room's safe throughout my remaining days there. A story and something that will be passed down to my DD. Thank you for hearing my story
