I was realizing a little too late that I had no idea what to wear to a wedding.
I knew Elio would have helped me if I asked, but I didn't want to bother him, not when I knew wedding planning took a lot of work. This was something I could do on my own, even if I felt strange and uncomfortable doing so. All it required was a bit of confidence.
Normally I was pretty confident. I didn't care what people thought of me for the most part and I wasn't embarrassed to try new things, but as I stood outside of the store that sold suits and ties, I felt terribly out of place. I felt very young and very inexperienced and I knew if I walked inside on my own, the people who worked there would laugh at me behind their hands and probably try to sell me something I couldn't afford.
With a sigh, I rubbed my hands over my face and took a deep breath, trying to steel myself. I could do this. I wasn't going to run away.
I was convinced of this right up until I saw Lisbeth's reflection in the window and then I turned so quickly I almost fell over a woman walking her dog directly behind me. With a quick, but profuse apology for her, I stepped away from the store and moved in Lisbeth's direction, absolutely grateful for this save.
"Hi," I said, a little breathless. "I'm really glad to see you."
