Re: Alyssa and Kate
"I want to pretend to be offended that you think I couldn't pick this myself," Kate said. "But of course Nick helped me. He was like a kid on Christmas." She took Alyssa's hand and let her friend twirl her, the skirt fanning out as she did.
Kate didn't mind dressing up nearly as much as she pretended to or as much as she had six years ago. She supposed it was a thing that came with maturity and even if she was eighteen again, she had those additional years of experience. "So are you enjoying the cruise? What have you been doing fun?"
