they've made it through the opening pleasantries, along with the appetizer
when she feels isaac take her hand underneath the table
she spares a quick glance across, sees her parents, father in particular, engrossed in business talk
she looks over at isaac
his pale lapis eyes are filled with concern
"what's wrong?"
she looks down at her lap
why did she ever think she could hide anything from him?
"nothing, i just
i don't like this dress"
and all that it exposed
not just her body
but all of her flaws
the roots of her insecurities
"why not?
you look stunning,
and sophisticated
like audrey hepburn"
