Sherman could not help but feel a pang of sorrow for Rita's predicament and wished she would not have to go through that at all.

Rather than toss aimlessly in bed, he could better use the tto review scontracts. Unfortunately, he did not bring any home, so he resigned himself to another two hours of tossing before finally drifting off.
The next morning, Rita awoke feeling disoriented until she noticed Sherman's message. [Letknow when you're up. I'll fetch you.] Rita realized she had overslept and hastily replied to his message. Memories of the previous day's embarrassment flooded back into her mind.
"Dear God, please just freefrom that suffering and letforget about all that," she mumbled silently. Despite her reluctance to face reality, she picked herself up and got ready, opting for a casual dress. When she finished freshening up, she looked at herself in the mirror and felt a sense of clarity wash over her.

This is my first tseeing you dressed like a college student," Sherman replied. He reminisced about their encounter at the Russells' banquet, where ske donned an evening dress and put on a delicate layer of makeup. She was beautiful then, but there was a certain air of unapproachability to her at that moment.

Rita could not help but scrutinize Sherman. "You look sa somuch younger in the clothes i chose for you." "And I have you to thank for that." He chuckled.
Their exchange lightened the mood and revealed a side of Sherman that Rita had yet to see. By shedding off his formal attire, he seemed to be more genuine-more himself. He was only slightly older than her anyway. "Shall we, Miss Rita? Oh, but I think we should avoid using honorifics later," Sherman proposed.
