A Daamas Rounder dropped Adelia in front of Z’s shop. She didn’t have time to raise her hand to knock on the door before the dark glass swung open, and Z stepped out, a bottle of water in hand, looking as if he had been up for hours. His hair was perfectly styled, his clothes clean and fitted. He looked too polished to be relatable.

Even his friendly tone was too energized for the morning. “You’re early. I like that. Let’s go…wait, what are you wearing?”

His eyes scanned her from head to toe. She felt those eyes taking apart her outfit. Flashes of memory from her ex-husband doing the same thing surged in her mind. She steeled herself for the demeaning comments.

“You didn’t get any new clothes, did you?”

“These are new.”

“Well, you’re going to get your money back. They look like rags.”

“Fine,” she said, wishing he had told her exactly what kind of clothes he expected her to wear.

He made a noise in the back of his throat. “Okay. Well, good thing I prepared for this. Come on.” He motioned for her to follow him. In his office, he opened a tall cabinet, and she saw an extra pair of pants and a button-up inside, as well as a full extra outfit for a female.

He’d prepared for this? “Are those new, or leftovers from someone else?”

“They’re yours, and they have never been worn. I don’t keep a shrine of clothes that females leave in this office.” He unhooked the hanger and handed it to her. “Shower and dress. I’ll wait.”

Taking the clothes—another light-colored blouse, a floral skirt, frilly undergarments, and rounded flats—Adelia initially wanted to reject being dressed by Z. But unlike Olmy, the clothes Z had picked out actually looked cute instead of overly formal, buttoned-up, and proper.

Which were exactly the kinds of clothes she bought. Old habits die hard.

She took the hanger and walked to the bathroom.

“You’re welcome,” he shouted.

“Thank you,” she yelled back.

She didn’t bathe because she had showered in her own apartment. But she did slip on the purple, pink, and white floral skirt that hugged her hips, thighs, and ended at her knees. The white blouse dipped on her chest, the ruffles on each side making it flattering and not revealing. Her heels matched the purple in the skirt perfectly.

Adelia loved it. Turning slightly in the mirror, she glanced to see what it looked like from the back.

The only thing she would have changed was the shoes. She wished they had a higher heel. And she’d maybe add a few bracelets to give the look some sparkle.

When she walked out, Z didn’t comment on the outfit.

On the walk to the diner, he said, “I’ve forwarded you the information of the clothing shop I got your clothes from. They have everything you could need. I’ve talked to them and sent them five hundred keleps so you can buy a new wardrobe.”

His words were wonderful, but the toneless way he’d said them made her wonder if he’d done it because he was disappointed.
