He pushed his way over there and reached up and took the two dresses off the wall.They were two different colors though they were of a similar style. They would be easy enough to remember who was in which one. Though they were identical they did have very different tastes in things he noticed in the short time they had them.

I know in the beginning of the year I explained how I want all of you here for each lecture.
