Emily's POV
I could tell by the look on Ethan's face that he wasn't pleased with my appearance. He was frowning, his eyes taking in my outfit with a critical eye. I felt my confidence falter, and I wondered if I had chosen the wrong outfit. But I was determined to make the best of it, even if I felt self-conscious.
"Umm... can we leave now?"
I tried to break the awkward silence. I wanted to change the subject and move on from the uncomfortable moment. I could tell Ethan was still looking at me with a critical eye, and I was starting to feel more and more uncomfortable. I just wanted to get out of there and start the evening on a better note.
"Of course we can. But we'll need to make a few stops on the way." I nodded, feeling relieved that he was willing to move on from the uncomfortable moment.
"Okay."
I did my best to sound upbeat.
