Sato needed to find out if what Ashley meant was that she's willing to let him stay. Was she considering letting him go? He cleared his throat, about to ask about it, when Mrs. Garcia intervened.
"So, what do you think of the gown? Do you like it?" Asked Mrs. Garcia as she approached the two of them. Ashley was mesmerized by the beautiful gown in front of her. She was waiting for Sato to hand it to her, but he kept the gown in the air, holding it up.
She answered Mrs. Garcia's question, "Yes! I find it gorgeous. I have many beautiful gowns made by famous designers from Japan, but this one stands out the most," she said as her eyes shined brightly, and her attention all on the spectacularly made gown.
Mrs. Garcia pulled down Sato's hand and took the gown from him.
"Why were you holding your hand up in the air? You're supposed to give it to Ashley so she could try it on, Sato," she said as she handed the gown to Ashley.
