About this listen

In this chapter, Notch and Gabriella visit a high-end men's clothing store to buy a linen suit, dress shirt, and shoes. Gabriella takes charge, referring to Notch as her husband, which surprises him but also makes him feel admired by the store's salesmen. The salesmen treat Gabriella with great respect and cater to her every request, even when she insists on buying expensive Italian loafers for Notch.

Notch is measured for his suit, and although he feels it fits perfectly, Gabriella is not satisfied and insists on further adjustments. The salesmen are clearly captivated by Gabriella's beauty and charm, and they go out of their way to accommodate her. Eventually, Gabriella manages to persuade the store's tailor to have the suit ready by the evening for their anniversary dinner, despite the tailor's initial refusal.

Throughout the chapter, there is a playful and flirtatious dynamic between Notch and Gabriella, with both of them engaging in a game of one-upmanship. The chapter ends with Notch feeling a mix of admiration and discomfort as he contemplates the lengths Gabriella goes to ensure he looks his best.
