Page 88 of Out of the Gold

I wish I could argue with her, but I can’t. Instead, I shove my feet into the boots and pick up the mask. “How do I look?”

She appraises me, making additional adjustments. “Great. I’m happy with your outfit. Are you?”

I steal one final kiss. “I am because you did it for me.”

“Judith designed it.”

I shrug. “Whatever. You make this Doctor very happy.”

The trailer door opens again, and Judith herself walks in, carrying a tissue. She’s still a bit green around the edges. “How are you feeling, Judith?”

“Been better, been worse. I wanted to come and check out the costume before you head out to the set.”

I stand still while she walks around, assessing Melody’s handiwork.

“Looks good.”

Judith picks up my hand and studies the gloves. “These are expertly done. Form a fist, please.” I comply. “Yes, very good.”

Melody’s blushing, this time from her boss’s praise. I let her bask for a few moments. “Am I ready for the cameras, ladies?”

Judith nods. “Yes.”

She motions for Melody to leave the trailer first. My eyes don’t wander farther than her delectable ass.
