The instant Kaylee opens her mouth this woman is going to know where she comes from.
The knowledge feels like it's going to crush her.
She makes herself take in a breath -- it's shaky -- and let it out.
No reason I oughtn't to be able to do this, she reminds herself. They're in this for people, that's what Diana said.
(Kaylee can also find it within herself to be mad at Simon for putting her in this position to begin with; anger's good fuel, sometimes.)
"My husband -- " And sometimes it makes a great starting point. " -- is seeing fit to have us go out to dinner someplace with a dress code for no real reason at all, and... I don't got the slightest what I ought to wear."
