"This suit looks good on you. You picked it, or Turner did?" He asked thoughtfully.

"I did," Bella said as she angled her chin proudly.

"Really? That is good, then. I guess when next I'm shopping for clothes, you'd double as my shopping assistant," Dan said with a nod of approval, "What about your foot? Were you able to take care of it?" Dan asked with concern as he glanced at her feet.

Bella nodded her head, "Yes, I did," Bella said as she tried to think of a way to apologize to him. 'Just go ahead and do it. It's not a big deal,' Bella told herself over and over again. 

"Is there a problem?" Dan asked when he saw that she was trying to say something.
