"I was late because I…" He stopped as he didn't know how to say it.
Rachel now seriously got worried seeing his hesitation. She went to him and put her hand on his shoulder and slightly patted on his shoulder, "There there, tell me what happened I'll help you sort out your problem, now be a good boy and tell me what happened."
"I was late because I was not sure what to wear, I have tried on many clothes but they don't look good and I didn't even realise 3 hours passed"
Rachel was standing in shock with her mouth open after hearing his 'serious reason for being late'. She stood there like a statue staring at him.
Getting no response from her, Patrick looked at her, she was standing like a statue and was looking at him as if he is crazy.
"What happened Rach? Please help me"
Rachel came out of her stupor and asked him, "So you have been deciding what to wear for the past 3 hours?"
Patrick nodded in agreement.
