The Slave
“It resisted her diabolically, remaining tangled where it should be smooth, tight where it should be loose, sloppy where it should be crisp. It never came out even.
She never realized that so much went into tying a simple bow tie.
But she had to get it right before Chris came back from wherever he had gone. His tuxedo hung, freshly aired and dusted, his shirt was crisp in white tissue paper on the bed. A box containing the braces and studs and cufflinks was on the edge of the nightstand. Robin h...ad been struggling with the tie for almost an hour. Nothing that she knotted seemed even close to the ideal that was pictured on the instruction sheet she had gotten from the formal wear shop.
That had been an inspiration. When Chris had left her, all he had done was hand her the tie and tell her that she would be expected to act as his valet that evening; she did know how to deal with one of these, didn’t she?
Robin’s sole experience with bow ties had been seeing them around the throats of professors, or on the boyfriends of various girlfriends on their wedding days.MoreLess
