Still Got It

Chapter Twenty

G race did a twirl for Angeliki and peered at herself in the full-length mirror. The one in her room at the language school offered a view that only reached the waist, and she was desperate to see how her new dress looked.

She’d bought the garment in the few minutes she’d had between lessons in town earlier, mainly because it had big splodges of silver everywhere over the white linen, and she wanted to at least make an effort for Will’s space-themed party. It had looked approximately her size on the rack, but she hadn’t had time to try it on, so she’d come straight to her friend’s apartment near the port after her final lesson. Unfortunately, for her bank balance anyway, she’d also happened to pass the shoe shop where she’d bought the horribly expensive espadrilles with Sofia, and had persuaded herself it was an investment to get a pair in silver too.

The sound of Angeliki clapping made Grace smile.
