WULFRIC cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment. "Thank you."
He tried to keep a straight face but deep inside, there was a small man dancing in excitement. He was now thankful that he asked Hildred for advice in what to wear. Because if he was left on his own devices, he would definitely just go with simple shirt and jeans. He probably wouldn't even bother to comb his hair.
But then something Hildred said kind of stuck to him – 'if you're meeting someone you think as special, then you definitely have to dress to impress'. He thought Hildred was just talking nonsense as usual. But then the other explained to him that if he wanted to impress someone, then he had to show that he's making effort in everything. Including picking up clothes.
It's the simplest way to show your appreciation to the other person. Something as simple as dressing up to look good in front of that person could actually make a difference in the other's perception of you.
