Alia's POV

My bed was covered in clothes I'd taken out of my luggage. I stared at them for what felt like minutes, wondering what to wear. Everything I chose felt too much, too flashy, and wrong. A red dress caught my eye. I picked it up and held it up to me in the mirror. No… that looked like an outfit for a date, not a casual movie.

Maybe something simple… something I wouldn't have to think too much about. A pair of jeans and a blouse would do the trick. Nothing too fancy. That felt right.
