The Man Behind the Mask (2013)
“If their voices hadn’t been in her head telling her to jazz up her wardrobe, she never would have bought something so out of character. She would have gotten capri pants or Bermuda shorts, something more fitting her personality. But no, she had to go with this. In the store, the cream-and-yellow sundress seemed fun and sophisticated. Today it simply looked short. Her thighs looked like two giant white columns. She tugged at the skirt trying to make it longer, but no luck. What had she been thin...king?
About Simon, of course. What else was new? His challenge put her in a frivolous mood. That, however, was before. Before their conversation at the restaurant. Before he wigged out over a bunch of teenagers. Now, like the sundress, frivolous no longer fit.
There wasn’t a doubt in her mind that something happened while Simon was in prep school. Hazing, bullying, something. Whatever the name, the event had affected him deeply.
