I stared into my recently filled closet, wondering what one wore to a foreign film at a small, independent movie theater. It sounded so hipster. I definitely lacked hipster clothing. And, I hadn’t been shopping for normal clothes because my check from the consignment store hadn’t come in yet.

I’d made a deal with myself that I wouldn’t buy anything new until my old clothes paid for it. I’d been excited when the girl had oohhh’d over my suits. One thing Jason had drilled home to me that I actually agreed with was to save your money and buy good clothing for the office. Marketing was such a judgmental group. If you didn’t look the part, then they believed you couldn’t make other people look their part.

On the upside, I wouldn’t miss having my nails done every week. I’d always thought that was a waste of money and I only liked color on my toes. Of course, I wasn’t giving up my highlights.

None of this helped me pick out an outfit for the movie though.

Not that this was a date. It wasn’t. But I wanted to look nice and dress right for the occasion. This wasn’t for Max. I didn’t want to be that girl who people looked at and thought, “What’s he doing with her?”

Not that he’d be with me. But other people didn’t know that. They’d think we were together. Like on a date. Or maybe a couple already. No, there’s no way we’d give off couple vibes. So, basically I just needed to wear something that let me blend in with where I was going, what I was doing, and who I’d be with. That meant—

That meant I was way over thinking this.

I pulled out my favorite pair of jeans, a Guess t-shirt, and a pair of wedges it was just warm enough to wear. I grabbed a light jacket and my purse, checked the directions so I didn’t look like a tourist in my own neighborhood, and headed out.

This was going to be great. It felt very sophisticated. I wondered if they served popcorn. What did sophisticated people eat at the movies? I mean, films. Whatever. Should I have brought a snack? Maybe I could still grab some peanut M&Ms to sneak in. Should I grab Max something too? No. No, Max would have to bring his own snacks. Plus, if he didn’t pull out snacks then I’d know this wasn’t a snack type place.

Which, really? Everywhere should be a snack place.

About a block down the street, I saw a guy sitting on his stoop, reading his phone. Of course it was Max. Shocker.

I pulled to a stop in front of him annoyed he’d obviously been waiting on me even though I’d told him I’d meet him there. This is exactly what I’d been trying to explain to Jenna. He was too much like Jason. Everything had to be his way. He was orchestrating things how he wanted them without necessarily going against what I’d said.

I stood there, watching him, his head still bent over his phone.
