EM-Drabbles – One Hundred & Three

Jem wondered what to wear.
Meeting his parents for the first time and a formal dinner too to celebrate their engagement. She had never been to a formal dinner before so it was double terrifying and so far out of her comfort zone she wanted to hide under the duvet and tell Rafe she was ill.
Eventually she found a dress she thought suited her and the occasion, did her own hair, tried for a little make-up and waited.
When Rafe arrived she knew she had got something right.
His face lit up with stunned awe.
“My God!” he said.
