Chapter Eight - Norma

I didn’t really want to go shopping with Dynamo. It wasn’t that she was ever anything less than kind to me, but she made me feel bad about myself simply by being herself. Looking the way she did, fighting the way she did, being as smart and strong and sure of herself as, well, a superhero. And it wasn’t her fault that Miles didn’t even notice me when she was around. What reasonable man would? But, sometimes I had to keep reminding myself of that. That it wasn’t her fault, and it wouldn’t be fair to dislike her for it. I tried hard to be fair.

It was still impossible.

The models on Dan Slade’s yacht had been intimidating too, not as impossibly gorgeous as Dynamo, but definitely many times prettier than me. But it had made me feel better when they started asking her all those beauty and fitness questions, and I started to realize that they had just as many insecurities about their physical appearances as I did about mine. That they, too, feared they would never measure up to the beautiful superheroine. That made me feel not only more kindly disposed towards them but also made me feel a sort of strange vicarious pride in Dynamo.

Elizabeth probably hadn’t even felt flattered by their obvious envy, just impatient. She was like that. For such a beautiful woman, she really wasn’t vain at all. Well, she knew she was beautiful, but it just wasn’t something she obsessed over. She hardly seemed to obsess over anything except being good at her job, and that was another quality that I knew made her extremely appealing to everyone else: she just didn’t give a shit about her looks. She even seemed to feel quite nonchalant about her affair with Miles. Didn’t she realize how many thousands of women would have literally killed to be in her place, which is to say waking up next to him every morning?

We walked through aisles of shoes, and Dynamo breezed by them so fast that a couple pairs of precarious stilettos toppled over. I don’t think the tall beauty even noticed that I was struggling to keep up with her. Which was probably just a metaphor for our entire relationship. She was the whirlwind. I was just a little brown leaf getting tossed around in her wake.

Then she halted in front of a pair, and I caught up with her and tried not to pant visibly. She grabbed the heels and then instead of bending to put them on her own feet, she thrust them at me.

“Here, these would look good on you,” she stated.

“They would?” I asked as I examined the strappy nude pair she’d chosen. They weren’t something I’d have picked out for myself because they were… well, awfully sexy, and I always feared looking dumb in sexy clothes that clearly weren’t meant for someone like me. Also, I usually favored bright colors because I needed all the help I could get to not blend into the background.
