"Good to know you can recognise that I'm a real man." His eyebrows bobbed as she continued, letting a smile curl his lips. "Oh, I know the women appreciate it."
"It's a little bit of a faux pas to coordinate your wardrobe with your house colours after you've graduated, but it does suit you," Robbie said, leaning against the doorframe as she inspected the dress. He was content to just get back into the flow of their shopping, bringing back the bickering and teasing. He had relied on repressing for so long, it was simple to push down negative thoughts and feelings if he was allowed to. Fortunately, Alicia was letting it go, not punishing him for his involvement, and he was grateful. "Anything to help get you laid. How is your love life going anyway?"
"Please, I'm pretty sure my arse would look better in that dress than yours," he teased with a small smile. He flicked through the clothes on the hooks, picking the dark skinny jeans and a crisp white fitted shirt and handing them to her. "These together could be good for a lot of things, casual, like going grocery shopping or walking the dog, and with some heels, it could be a date outfit. What's your dress code at work? 'Cause that outfit might work there too."
He ducked out of the stall and pulled the door closed politely. She might have been fine stripping off, but he was still good-mannered.
