The red dress stood out against the dark bricks and she couldn't help but cringe at the sight of it. Sylvia knew that Tom gave Grace money for the dress, she didn't say anything about it, even as much as she wanted to. Something about Grace felt off, how Grace asked her questions that Sylvia definitely didn't have the answer to.
Sylvia stood in a loose-fitting green gown, knowing that she and Grace were the bait for Billy Kimber. "You look nice," Grace said quietly and Sylvia raised her eyebrows at the blonde.
"You look like a goddamn tampon." That's what Sylvia so desperately wanted to say, but she couldn't. She had no reason to hate Grace and yet, Sylvette wanted to call Grace a nosy whore before striking her across the face. "Red suits you, I'm sure he'll like your dress a lot..." Sylvia could tell that Grace didn't understand what she meant. And that alone made Sylvia feel smug.
The sound of the family car made Sylvia step out of the road so she wouldn't get run over. Tom gave Slyvia a single nod before Grace climbed in the front, "Is it just the three of us going to the races?" Grace questioned and Tom shrugged.
"Something like that..."
Sylvia looked around nervously, hating the attention she was getting from the dress. Ever since she removed her shawl and exposed her back, it was like all the men around her suddenly noticed her. It was an important part of her plan, looking so scandalous. Sylvette even bet Tom thirty more quid if she could spill her drink on Kimber without him getting pissed. The heels she wore brought her to Tom's height so she stood out even more.
