"Nice to meet you," Kate said, dropping her hand after a moment. "And they are, good eye." She let Pam's comments about the shoes slide; Pam wasn't the first person she'd met with a sense of humor like that. Didn't stop her from taking another (long) sip of her wine, the warmth of the alcohol hitting her a few seconds later and mingling with the warmth that had started a little while ago and was steadily growing. Definitely not the booze on that one.
"The emergency fashion relief went well," Kate continued after her drink, grinning a little at the name she'd given it. "I had a fair number of people stop by; made me glad I wasn't the only one who thought to bring extra back for everyone else." It wouldn't have stopped her from showing up in jeans, but it was nice to be able to fully participate with dressy clothing. "Going in this rain would've been a nightmare." Not to mention nearly impossible to transport clothing back without it also getting soaked and possibly ruined.
