Brooklyn

When I turn and find Aden standing in the doorway to my bedroom, I nearly jump out of my skin.

"Oh!" I say.

"Going somewhere?" he asks.

I nod. I'm standing in my bedroom mirror, holding two dresses.

"Out, actually. Hudson just came by and asked me if I want to go to dinner."

Aden smiles at me, just raising the little corner of his mouth.

"You should go with the black dress, then," he says, nodding towards a little minidress still hanging in my closet. "That's better for a city dinner."

I consider the dress, which is really just a scrap of fabric.

"You don't think it's too..." I say, hesitating and looking up at him, a little embarrassed. "Well, slutty?"

Aden laughs a little at this, leaning against my doorframe.

"The whole point of going to a chic restaurant in the city is to wear a dress like that and make your boyfriend jealous when all the other men stare at you. That's why a dress like that exists."

I look back at the dress, surprised and a little excited. I had never thought about it that way.

I sneak a glance at Aden, still leaning there in my doorway, wondering what he'd think if he saw me on Hudson's arm, in this dress, the hem riding a little too high on my thigh.

Then, I take it off the hanger and lay it out on the bed, the question decided.

I start to move over to my vanity but stop dead in my tracks at his next question.

"Do you want to marry Hudson?" Aden asks, blunt.

I just stand there, blinking at him, totally confused.
