Judy's POV

My heart was pounding as Erik drove us to the restaurant. I settled on wearing a yellow sundress, and I curled my hair, so it framed my face. This was a different look for me; while I typically liked to wear stretchy clothes that moved with my body, this was a little too girly for me. But it was one of Irene's original designs, and I knew she would appreciate my effort in trying to wear her styles.
