C123 Dinner Is Tonight Not Now

What was she supposed to wear? She didn’t want to dress too casually and appear disrespectful. But she also didn’t want to dress too extravagantly and attract unnecessary questions from her family.

For nearly an hour she stood in front of her wardrobe trying on different outfits. One dress after another. Yet none of them felt right. Finally, she gave up.

Grabbing two dresses, she hurried downstairs. “Grandma!” Her voice echoed through the house. “I really can’t decide what to wear tonight.”

Everyone immediately turned toward her. In one hand was an elegant designer dress decorated with small diamonds. It was beautiful, expensive, and eye-catching.

Ironically, it was the same dress she had previously refused to wear because she claimed the diamonds attracted too much attention.

In her other hand was a simple black dress. It wasn’t expensive, but it fit her perfectly, accentuating her graceful figure and long legs.

She held both dresses up helplessly. “I don’t know which one to choose.” The entire family burst into laughter.

Even Mark couldn’t resist teasing her. “Why do you look so nervous this early in the morning?” he asked. “The dinner is tonight, not now. Relax."

Alicia immediately realized he was making fun of her. Seeing her speechless expression, Mark smiled proudly, clearly pleased with himself.

Her grandmother, however, looked delighted. She rarely had opportunities to help her granddaughter with things like this.
