The Dress Was Never the Problem
"I've already gone with you to try that dress several times. What's wrong with missing it once? Natalie just got back. She was alone with all that luggage.
"As a friend, I had to pick her up. You're usually so reasonable. Why make a fuss over something this small? Do you really have to give me the silent treatment over this?"
"I'm fine." I brushed his hands away, hung the towel back on the rack, and turned to leave.
"Really?" Enzo followed me out, sounding noticeably more relaxed. "Did you finalize the dress yesterday, then? Send me the bill. I'll sign it."
I walked over to the bedside table, pulled open the drawer, and took out the stamped order form.
