Tempted
“I shuffle through the papers littering my desk as Ellen walks in, carrying a couple of garment bags.
“Invoices for Raven’s party.”
“It’s just one night. I have less paperwork ordering a month’s supplies for both clubs.”
“Oh, shut up. It’s a special night, and you can afford it.”
Right. Guess I can’t argue with that logic. “I’ll start writing the checks.”
“I need you to sign off on her dress. I brought two I think she’d like.”
She unzips the garment bags and removes the dresses, holding them up ...for me to see. They’re both blue, one long, and one short.
“This one is more traditional prom.” She jiggles the long one. “This one, more of a party dress. It’s strapless; you can see the cutouts on the bodice. With the high-low, frilled skirt, I feel like it’s something she’d choose for herself. She likes to show skin.”
Yes, she does. I study them both and try to imagine her wearing them. As much as I’d love to see her covered up, I know she’d like the short one.MoreLess
