I look at my reflection. I could seriously use a major overhaul. I'm lacking in proper clothes. And Habit wants to take me out tonight, and he won't say where. I want to surprise him and dress up, so I head to the only other person I can talk to about this stuff.
Vinny sits in his room, talking to the camera, but pauses when I knock on the door. "Come in."
When he sees it's just me, I think he sighs with relief.
"Hey, y/n. What's up?"
"I think Habit and I are going on a date later," I say. "And I've been wearing mismatched clothes from around the house. I'd like to surprise him."
"Oh, so you want to go to the store?"
"Yeah, I got a credit card if you were wondering. I'd just like to not be alone. And have a guy's opinion before I venture out on my date."
Vinny nods. "So you need a chaperone?"
I roll my eyes. "No, I need a friend and a ride. I don't really enjoy driving in places I barely know."
"Oh yeah. I forget you're not from around here. Okay. Uh, let me get ready and I'll meet you at the car. Okay?"
I nod and head downstairs. Habit's nowhere to be seen, so I write a little note, Went to the store. Be back soon!
Before long, Vinny comes downstairs and gives me a small smile. "You ready?"
I adjust my purse. It feels weird to be carrying it again, after so long. But I nod and off we go.
