Chapter 15: Ruby Red

After getting over my apprehension, Luke and I got into his car and drove to the nearest boutique to get me an outfit for his work dinner party. Josh stayed at the apartment, whining about how much he hated shopping.

“What about this one?” the sales lady asked, pointing out a gigantically layered orange dress.

I stared at her, contemplating if she was actually being serious or not. The dress was, respectfully, horrendous. I think my eyes were starting to hurt from looking at it. Even my untrained eye could tell that was not the choice for me.

“I think I‘ll have a look around myself,” I said, kindly. Not wanting to hurt feelings.

She turned her nose at my words, clearly understanding their meaning, and walked off with a lot more aggression than I appreciated. But I paid her no mind.
