“Is this suit beautiful, Al?” Elbert speaks monotonously, standing as still as he can while your hands are skillfully adjusting the loose fabric of his suit, adding pins of where you’re going to alter and sew it to better compliment his thin frame.

Alfons responds with a somewhat indifferent tone. “It will do, Elbie.” The suit is adorned with intricate lace embroidery around the collar, with silver cufflinks that bring out the baby blue hues of the lined floral pockets.

Alfons silently acknowledges your talent, but he fears that the more he compliments you, the more of an attraction Elbert might develop. Your strict yet formal demeanor may be just what Elbert wants.
