A couple on a date (2)

A couple on a date. That was how they looked to a stranger's eyes.

Vera tried pushing that thought away, but she couldn't make it. So, that was why Neven had warned her!

But, why was everyone staring? Oh, her everyone was a bit of an overstatement, but the several pairs of eyes were definitely not normal.

Was something about her wrong? The dress? The bag?

She observed her shoes but couldn't understand what was the problem. They might have not been as classy as others, but they were acceptable. Also, the staring had started long before they had time to analyse her shoes.

She then glanced at Neven. He had just finished instructing the waiter and turned to her.

«Shall we go?» he asked.

She just nodded, and he offered his hand. She accepted, too distracted to notice what she was doing.
