Laurie quickly grabbed one of his wife’s raincoats and as she left she said, loudly, “Thanks for the loan, Mr. Williams. I’ll return it tomorrow.” Why loudly? Easy! Just in case ol’ Nosey Parker was doing just that; being nosey!
Once back in her bedroom, Laurie was at a dilemma, trying to think what she could wear. It had to be exotic looking in order to tease Williams, without it being too ‘in your face’.
Her black evening gown could fit the bill. She had only once, and that was because her father was the main speaker at a gala, so her parents treated her to it. After all, she had to look respectable!
She could wear those new stockings and that garter belt with it…Yes!
As Laurie went through the closet that was set aside for the more ‘expensive’ outfits, her eyes fell upon an outfit she had completely forgotten about, tucked away in a separate section of the closet. She had worn it, for a ‘bit’ part in a play at school. Laurie had fallen in love with it, and pleaded with her parents for them to buy it for her, as an ‘advanced’ birthday present. Thankfully, they relented.
There was no time, for her to put on all its separate items, but they weren’t really needed. So, in the end Laurie settled on the gorgeous white blouse, the plain petticoat, the ankle long royal blue skirt, matching jacket, and to top it off, literally, a fancy wide brim hat.
Following Williams’ advice she entered his house through the back door, before proceeding up to his studio. If anyone had seen her, they must have thought they were back in the ‘Victorian’ era.
Laurie entered the studio, but he was nowhere to be seen. “Mr. Williams, I’m here.” Then she heard the toilet flush. Smiling to herself, she sat down and pulled a pair of white high heels out of her carrying case, and switched them for the sneakers she had worn. Then she pinned her hair up, before placing the hat back on.
Then she stood awaiting Williams. This should throw him for a loop, she thought.
