Gertrude couldn’t help but smile at him as Walt pulled out her chair for her. He always treated her like such a lady. Not just a woman, but a lady. Gertrude had always assumed she did not want to be treated so, as a teenager she would have perhaps said it was demeaning. However how wrong she had been. Her heart swelled with joy.
She squeezed in a quick “Thank you.” as she tried to sit down as daintily as possible. Like a lady. Gertrude was not the best at being ladylike.
She smirked at Walt. “As much as I would obviously love that, that might be a bit unfair. To my admirer that is. After buying me such beautiful flowers, then only to be scared away?” She didn’t even try to keep a deadpan look on her face as she grinned up at him.
