I put it back on and again felt like a million bucks.
"That dress was meant for you." Roxy said with a smile.
"I was with them when he found it. He knew it, too without even really knowing you. It was kinda crazy."
"You were out shopping with them while I was getting dressed?"
"You're really slow at changing, Zeda."
We both laughed and I started to relax.
"We have to be careful tonight. Be more mindful of strangers and stuff...." I mentioned a while later.
"I'm glad you brought that up, actually."

"Isn't that what we always do? When have I not looked out for you? You're the one who took off into that hall with the guys."
I wanted to tell her but ... I was embarrassed.
I was afraid she would either freak out or brush it off and tell me it could have been worse.
I didn't want either.
"Yeah..." I trailed off.
"Anyway, I'm glad you said it because I'm thinking of staying with Chris tonight after the club."
She spoke while she applied her signature bright red lipstick to her full lips.

"He said he could get us a hotel room somewhere fancy. So, you can stay here. I thought that would work best. Right?"
