Daia fluffed up her sleek style into a tousled look As if she’d just rolled out of bed after a bout of hot, hair-pulling sex Tell would appreciate it
She earing a sleeveless, for dress in a pale blue With a modest bodice, the fabric was shirred from the empire waist to the froth of tulle at the hemline, two inches above her knees With her funky platform heels in a blue cheetah print and a rhinestone clutch, she’d probably added fashion violation to her list of worries, which was already too long
Seeing Deck for the first ti Tara-Lee, pregnant
Seeing the girls in her class who hated her
Seeing RJ’s friends
The doorbell rang
Georgia gave herself one last look and headed downstairs
Tell hadn’t waited for her to open the door; he’d just waltzed right in
And wasn’t it ironic he was standing at the botto for her, just like she’d seen in all those teen irl to the prom? To top it off, Tell had a look on his face she’d never seen on any oddess”

“Please”

A black western-cut sport coat worn over a pristine white shirt, a bolo tie at his neck Jeans, boots and his black hat Yummy “You are quite the head-turner, Mr McKay”
“Thanks” He seerabbed her clutch As soon as they stepped outside and approached his truck, Tell apologized
“I’ht in a fancy sports car The only person I knoho has one is Keely’s husband, Jack, and it seemed a little forward to ask to borrow it”
