It’s an actual normal dress

Vanessa sighed as she watched Lauren rejoin the party. After everything Vanessa had done, she figured that Lauren did deserve a break from all the humiliation. So the dress was real. There were no alterations, no planned malfunctions, and as Vanessa gazed at Lauren she had to admit, the dress looked good on her. It wasn’t anything noteworthy, but it did its job.

Lauren felt conflicted as she approached Megan. “I... I can’t take **** like this,” Lauren said. “Vanessa just gave me this. I think she wants peace, and I don’t want to goad her into anything. Let’s just enjoy the night.”

Megan nodded. “If that’s your decision, I’ll respect it. And man, I want to take that dress off.”

Lauren raised an eyebrow as Megan blushed. “That good huh? Wow, Vanessa actually.... delivered. Do you think she’s okay?”

“I think that... maybe just maybe. There’s been a change of heart,” Megan said.

Soon it was time for Vanessa to give a speech. Vanessa had thought long and hard about what she was going to do.... and came to the decision that it was the right thing to do. She walked up to the podium where there was a microphone and began to speak.
