An hour later, the driver picks us up. Dominic has on a suit and tie, and I’m wearing my one and only black dress. Katherine gave me a red dress for Christmas which I actually like, but I didn’t want to wear it because it would remind me of her. And the dress Dominic bought me for the fundraiser last fall is too formal for dinner. So the black dress is my only option, but seeing it next to Dominic’s designer suit, my dress looks really plain and cheap. And I only have one winter coat, and it’s sporty not dressy. It doesn’t match the dress at all. The driver stops on the street in front of the hotel where we’re having dinner.
“I’m sorry, sir, but I can’t drop you off at the entrance with all this traffic, unless you want to wait 10 or 15 minutes for it to move.”
“No, this is fine,” Domini
