“Hi. Is this too fancy?” She looks down at her dress. “I’ve been freaking out for the past ten minutes because I want to wear something perfect because I want our date to be perfect, and I couldn’t decide between this one and a black dress that I really love, but honestly, I wear black all the freaking time, so do I really want to wear black when I’m not on stage? But the lace on this one feels fancier than the black and I don’t want to be too fancy.” She finally takes a breath. “So I’m asking you.” It takes me a minute to respond. Because she’s adorable. And her dress is stunning.
