The dress was sticking to me
and despite its modest A-line structure
I felt exposed
to Grayson's family

Shaking hands
clinking glasses
joyful laughs
strained smiles

"I am so glad that Grayson has finally settled down"
his grandmother stated sharply
"He is such a lovely boy with great assets"
his sister added
"You'll be such a great influence Miss James"
his uncle flashed his gold tooth

Everyone was so sure
that I was somehow going to
settle him down
make him family material

If only they knew
that it was he who was making me presentable
he who was making me a lady
he who was settling me down
