“Hey Kat,” I said, “you awake?”
“How the hell could I not be? After a good minute or so of silence, other than the noise coming from downstairs, I partially opened my eyes and looked around. Yes, it is one of the shop’s dresses, well it was until I bought it the other day.”
“Well you look great in it girl but you might want to put something else on before you start lifting some of those boxes, I don’t know where they’ve been but they’re covered in soot or something.”
“Oh,” I replied, “I don’t know if there’s any overalls or even an apron that I could put on.”
“Tell you what, seen as it’s you I’ll carry them all in.”
“No, that’s not fair, I’ll do my share of the work.”
“But your clothes.”
“Let me worry about that. After about a minute I said,
“Okay, that’s enough, I’m looking for my friend.”
As I turned to move on the groper guy replied,
“Thanks, would you like to stay with us instead, we’re going to a party later.”
“I’m going to a party too, but I have to find my friend.”
I turned and squeezed though a gap and wondered if it was the same party.
