Alice's parents insisted on taking tons of pictures when Aaron showed up at her house in his family's limo. He strapped on the corsage made of white roses and blue hydrangeas that matched his date's dress beforehand and she made sure to show it off in a bunch of different poses.
She smiled dazzlingly for the camera but Aaron's expression was stone cold. How many pictures did two people need? He was tired already and they hadn't even left yet.
"Do you have sparkling cider?" Alice asked after stretching and settling into the limo.
"Yes, it's in the cooler to your left."
She thanked him and spent the rest of the ride sipping her glass in silence. This was exactly why he had chosen her twice. She was easy to please and had zero interest in him.
