The next day, as agreed, Blake and I were supposed to go into town together to help me with the purchase of a new dress.
I arrived ten minutes before the appointed time, and was waiting for the guy at the school gate.
Deciding not to bother too much about my appearance, I gathered as simply as possible. She left her hair loose, and chose a simple beige dress and a hat and sandals of the same color as her outfit.
However, when Blake saw me from afar, he smiled and said:
— You're very beautiful today.
I was even embarrassed by such an unexpected compliment.
— thanks. You look really good too.
Blake was dressed in an ordinary white shirt and trousers, which, meanwhile, fit him perfectly. The guy's black hair was laid on one side, and a beautiful blue pattern on his shirt emphasized the color of his eyes.
As we drew level, Blake asked:
— Where do you want to go?
«I'm going to buy a dress,» I said, «there's a banquet coming up, and I want to find something suitable.»
