Liza rolled her eyes at Alice's remark about Dalton with an added smirk.
Oh please. She thought to herself. Liza new Dalton far too well, and lavish gowns, or any kind of "heavy" clothing, weren't what cranked his motor. She refrained from commenting that she preferred not to wear the kind of clothes that would make Dalton faint, but kept that thought to herself.
"Yeah," she said simply,"well I'm off to work. Have a good evening, I'll be back later tonight. We can go shopping tomorrow morning.'Later."
She headed out the door, pulling it to firmly behind her and leaving Alice alone in the apartment.

The yellow morning sun shone brightly over the eastern horizon that was New York Cities' prominent skyline.
The mass chorus of voices, blaring car horns, and roaring engines split through the air of the metropolitan city.
A small bright yellow cab cruised along a New York side street in Brooklyn, which was lined with several businesses and small rent complexes. A small cafe, a bookstore in an old brick building, and a pawn shop were some of the few small establishments that edged the street and sidewalk.
The cab pulled up to a small, red brick building at the end of the street on the left side.
It was a dress and fabrics store called
Fancies, a local owned little store that sold a myriad of dresses, gowns, and skirts, as well as fabrics and sewing material for one to make their own.
Inside the cab, Liza looked to her right to Alice,"Well," she said,"we're here. I've never been here myself, but a girl I know used to come here a lot. She was the frilly dress type like you." Liza finished her statement with a joking sideways grin at Alice as she stepped out of the cab onto the sidewalk.
