However, after deciding to look for opportunities to show a little more leg - courtesy of Mack’s mention that she had gams for days - Grace had tried on a handful of dresses for the evening, before finally landing on the posh number she had on.<br/><br/>She considered a stylish romper, a tutu style dress with pleather skirt, a sweater dress with hounds tooth detailing and very tall boots to match, and a sweater paired with a long, flowy skirt. But, in the end, she decided to wear a dress that hugged her well, while still leaving a bit to the imagination. Not to mention, those leopard print shoes looked fierce with the black number.<br/><br/>It may have been a sign - a sign that Grace either missed or couldn’t decipher on her own - that something was amiss. When it came to fashion, she was in her comfort zone most of the time. She hardly ever had to try on multiple outfits in order to land on the one that suited her the best. But, knowing Corey was going to be seeing her in this dress played a certain role.<br/><br/>After the cupcake debacle, Grace took a moment to collect herself, realizing a tad late that Corey had been staring just before she doused him in green frosting and bits of candy. He had even said ‘wow’ and ‘you look amazing.’ Her heart was fluttering when she fixed the botched cupcakes, making sure the cauldrons and their contents were all back in proper placement.<br/><br/>She chuckled at his reaction to her being more concerned about the cupcakes than his shirt. But, with another wave of her wand, the mess was completely gone and Grace gave Corey an incredulous look.<br/><br/>Once she settled on Corey having to change his shirt, she stepped out and followed him to his dorm. When she stepped in, setting the cupcakes down on his desk, Grace went straight to his closet, even before he said she could.<br/><br/>“I’ve liked that shirt for casual affairs, Corey. Not for a Darley party.” Grace mumbled to herself as she shook her head and rifled through his closet. “Honestly.” After a flustered sigh left her, she pulled two shirts for him to choose from and hurried out of the closet to lay both options on the bed, still attached to their hangers. “Either of these options would be perfect, you can pick.”<br/><br/>Grace turned round to face him and… her jaw quite literally dropped open. Corey had just stripped off his shirt and was standing there, murmuring about how she could have helped him before mashing cupcakes all over his shirt, whilst not wearing one. Grace gaped for a bit, her lips parting and then closing again several times, like a fish out of water.<br/><br/>Dazed by his defined muscles, Grace finally shook her head in disbelief. “I’m sorry,” she had to apologize for unabashedly staring. “Are those… abs?” She asked in utter bewilderment, even pointing to the area she was speaking about, just above his belly button and happy trail. “Or did you use contouring to give yourself the effect of abs?” The latter seemed more believable to her, clearly.<br/><br/>“Because… if those are abs… when did you get abs?!” She asked, flabbergasted, cheeks turning a very slight shade of pink.
