Nic looked her over, satisfied that the dress fit. Then he blinked, wondering why she wasn't saying anything. He glanced at himself like something was out of place. He straightened his already straight tie before waiting for her to say something.

Laurel remained frozen for a long, awkward moment before slowly closing her mouth and blinking. She opened her mouth to say something but shut it again.

So Nic waited a little longer before awkwardly holding out his arm.

Laurel continued to awkwardly stare, "... N..." she shook her head a little, closing her eyes before staring back at Nic. "... Nic?" she asked, sounding like she didn't quite believe he was real.

"... Yeah?" he asked in his normal tone, still awkwardly holding out his arm.

Laurel still didn't move, "... Y-You're... wearing a tux..." she stated quietly, "You... have a tux?"

Nic glanced at his tux again before looking back at Laurel. "... I rented it," he explained.

Laurel continued to openly stare, "You look..." she seemed at a loss of words again.

Nic continued to stand with his arm held out. He blinked, not sure what Laurel was getting at.

"Amazing," Laurel finally breathed. After another moment she stepped forward but didn't take his arm, instead she went in for a hug. She seemed to be favoring her left arm but managed to hug him tightly, "Is this what you've been up too? I missed you," she murmured into his chest.

Nic paused a moment before hugging Laurel back. He didn't say anything.

Laurel pulled away for a moment, pulling his jacket straight again before looking him over. Slowly she looked up at his face, "Wow, you even cleaned up for me," she told him, impressed, as she rested her hands on his chest.

Nic blinked, still a little confused. After an awkward moment of silence he asked, "... Do you like the dress?"

"Love it," Laurel replied, "But you forgot shoes," she teased before kissing his cheek.

Nic glanced down at Laurel's feet before looking back at her, a little displeased with himself.

Laurel laughed and kissed his lips sweetly, "It's okay," she told him, "Heels hurt."
