"I think Al would really like it," Caroline said with a smile, knowing that she certainly would have liked to see Isabella in the dress. Though, she did think it was a little risqué for school. "Maybe you could wear it for him next break or something? Or would you want to wear it to the dance still?"
"Yeah, not sure that black is really a good color for you. Too…oppressive, I guess." She shrugged, not really sure if she was making sense. "I think something more vibrant. Teal might me nice. Maybe a light red?"
"I've always wanted something a little…well…slinky?" Caroline shrugged sheepishly. "Like an evening gown that is black and sparkly."
"That would be wonderful!" Caroline didn't want to put any pressure on her friend but she really did want to go. She would really like to spend that kind of time with her friend and get to travel. "If you can," she added. "Let me know if you want to…try?"
