break off

I was trying on a couple of headbands when I accidentally dropped the one with a flower. It was as if it was falling in slow motion but I just watched it fall.

As it hit the floor, one petal fell off and when I looked up, the salesperson was on to me. He told me that since I broke it, I had to pay for it.

I felt bad paying for something I was not sure I really liked. My luck didn't change after I headed to the counter. I found out that the headband costs $45. Geez.

I am now wearing the headband. It is quite nice, I must say, but I honestly think that it is $20-nice, not quite $45-nice, if you get what I mean.
