Hostess takes coat

Vanessa watched as Lauren and Kyle entered. Lauren was holding her coat shut to hide her embarrassing dress. Well, Vanessa smiled, she'd have to do something about that! With but a thought she entered the hostess's mind and began manipulating her. The hostess grew stiff, then approached Lauren and Kyle.

"Good evening." Kyle said. "Reservation for two."

"Yes, I see your name." The hostess said. She turned to Lauren. "May I take your coat?"

"Uh, no that's fine." Lauren said. The hostess frowned.

"I'm sorry miss, but we have a strict dress code here." The hostess explained. She moved towards Lauren, who flinched back.

"No, please! I'm... chilly!" Lauren stammered. The hostess ignored her and, under Vanessa's command, spun Lauren around and pulled her coat off. Lauren stood in shock, her immature white and pink ruffled dress fully visible. The hostess totally casually put Lauren's coat on the rack and grabbed two menus.

"Right this way." The hostess said. Lauren cringed, cheeks pink. Everyone here was wearing their finest clothes, staring at her in an undersized and hideous pink and white dress!
