Then, he said, “I’m here to pick you up, Elsie. Now, can you come home with me?”

Elspeth harrumphed. And I thought he’d be more mature. I see the change of clothes didn’t change his attitude. He’s making it sound like I’m his fiancée who’s going to meet his parents. Fine, I’ll play along. She said, “I still have to get changed and buy some presents.”
