You just received a call from your boss's assistant, saying they'd have someone pick you up for a business meeting. You found a red, sleeveless dress and applied some light makeup. After all, it's not like it's a date, is it? You hear a car outside. Swiftly, you make your way out. The car

parked in front of you in a limo. You get in, thinking something might be up. You realize that you were being taken to your boss's place, not a restaurant. She approached the car, and you saw what she was wearing. The blood-red dress with draped sleeves was beautiful, but it wasn't business. She got in, and sat next to you. She ordered the driver to take you to the

fanciest restaurant around. When you arrived, you were taken to a booth, and were asked for drink preferences. Ordering a chai tea, you start to chat. The more you talk, the closer she seems to get to you. Your tea was set on the table, but you were both too busy chatting to

notice. Bryce was next to you at this point, and she reached a hand out for yours, accidentally spilling the drink all over your dress. She hands you a napkin, looking distraught,

and you frantically try to wipe off the scalding liquid. You excuse yourself to the restroom, and desperately try to get rid of the stain, but it is no use. You walk back out to your table, where Bryce is looking awful. "I ruined everything, haven't I?" she asked, her tone shameful.

You take a deep breath. "No, it's fine. It's only a dress, after all." You smile at her, and she looks a bit less worried. She offers that you two leave, and you accept. On the drive, she reaches for your hand again, but she still looks sad. You hold your hand on hers, and she looks

up at you. You smile, and she smiles back. She drops you off at home, and drives off.
