But for the next fashion show? Poe was wide awake. He stared, then grinned, walking in another circle around Scrooge, his fingers in a square like a camera or a phone. "Yes, yes, yes! I love it. It's you. Red suits you so perfectly, it's almost dangerous. Not too bright to be a sore thumb, but the hues will make you appealing against all the browns and grays you'll be with on a day to day basis."
He stepped back to admire his handiwork. "Forget the rest, they can't possibly be better than that."
