That night, she put the duvet cover on her bed and was immediately struck by how beautiful it looked. The linen had a subtle sheen to it, and the natural color seemed to glow in the soft light of her bedroom. She snuggled into bed, feeling the softness of the linen envelop her, and knew that she had made the right decision. The $120 had been worth every penny.
"It's $150," the associate replied. "But we have a sale going on right now, and you can get 20% off. That brings the price down to $120."
Emily was impressed. She had heard great things about linen bedding, but had never splurged on it before. But as she thought about how much she loved the feel of linen shirts and the way they seemed to get softer with every wash, she decided it was time to treat herself.
