"Cool boots," he says, and she feels her knees go weak.

Cool boots . It's gonna play in her head for the rest of the day if she isn't careful, no matter how insignificant of a statement it may be. Gloria knows that it doesn't mean much at all, but to her it means too much, because Piers is the one who said it to her, and it almost feels like she's making progress with him, as a result.

If she can call subtly changing her look and wearing things that she thinks might impress him "making progress," but it's not like she has any idea what she's doing. She's the champion now, and she's still completely floored when it comes to actually talking to the man she's developed a rather ferocious crush on. It would be nice if becoming champion automatically gave her the boundless confidence to do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted, but as it turns out, that isn't the case, and she finds that she hasn't really changed at all.

Certainly she hasn't changed enough to be able to boldly walk up to an older man and tell him outright that she's interested and would very much like to know how he felt about her. Instead, she's stuck repeatedly battling his younger sister under the guise of training, while stealing glances at him whenever she can afford the distraction. She does feel a little bad about this, since it isn't like she particularly minds visiting just Marnie, and definitely doesn't want her to think she's just here to get closer to her older brother.

But how can she help it? She hasn't been able to get him off her mind since they met, and then things only got worse after the forced Dynamax incident, having him there to help her out. That was probably the best chance she'd had so far to try to get close to him, and she hadn't been able to bring herself to do it. Now she's stuck like this, trying to impress him subtly, and making absolutely no progress.

Except he likes her boots, which she just bought in the hopes that they might make her look a little bit cooler to him. Maybe next time she should wear a leather jacket. She's seen some pretty cool ones in the store, and even if they're way too expensive, she should be able to afford one...

~X~

"Marnie's gone right now," he says, and she feels especially guilty for not minding that at all. Piers gives her a once over, and she hopes he can't see through her so easily. "Nice jacket. A new one, huh?"

So, he noticed. She smiles and says, "Yeah, I just picked it up a couple days ago."

"You're startin' to get together a whole new look, aren't you?" he asks, looking her up and down again. She feels like she could start shaking at any moment, and does all that she can to keep her composure.

"I don't know about that..." she mumbles, looking down.

"Looks good on you, but definitely not what I'm used to," says Piers, and now she feels as though he's scrutinizing her, though she's sure she's imagining it. Just because he's noticed a few changes to her wardrobe doesn't mean he has that much of an interest in looking at her. But he is still looking at her, with a bit more interest in his usually exhausted expression.

It's only then that it hits her that he said it looked good on her, that he said she looks good, and her face starts to turn red. Piers chuckles, and she's horrified to realize that he can tell that she's blushing.

"You're a little obvious, Gloria," he says, shaking his head. "Coming 'round all the time, changin' up your look like that...at first, I thought maybe Marnie had a little bit of an influence on you, since the two of ya became such fast friends, but that's not it, is it?"
