When Ray returned to her room, she found Adrian waiting for her. Adrian talked to her, not being super prone to being a protective big brother. He had calmed her down, but no matter how much he urged, he couldn't convince her to patch things up with Chris. Not to mention she was mortified that she'd told Chris she'd been planning on getting over him.

Adrian knocked on Ray's door, and when she answered, told her to get dressed up because she was going on a blind date. Knowing better than to argue with Adrian, she started to pick out clothes, only to have him shove some clothes into her hand and then shove her into the bathroom.
"I'm not doing this!"
"Yes you are! Don't argue. You know I'll win!"
"...Fine!"
"And you have to wear the dress. Scythe's orders."
"It's freaking short!"
A few minutes later Ray emerged from the bathroom dressed in a dress that in her opinion, didn't cover enough of her. It was strapless, and short, coming up to a little below mid thigh. The number was red, and fit her perfectly in alllll the right places. Her hair hung around her shoulders in loose, soft curls, and she had done a bit of makeup. Adrian raised an eyebrow and did a wolf whistle.
Ray socked him in the shoulder. "I can't believe I'm doing this." she snarled, clenching her fists at her side.
Adrian grinned at her. "Oh there's more." He handed her a box, which held a pair of black heels. Ray glowered. "Trust me Ray, this guy's worth it." he smirked and she slipped the shoes on.
He drove her to the restaurant and deposited her inside. "You're walking home, and don't you dare leave. Because if I find out, well..." he left the sentence hanging, but Ray knew there was a lot he could do to her, and shuddered.
Adrian moved forward and said LaForte. Ray felt a bit of dread as she was led towards a table with Chris sitting at it. She told herself that Adrian wouldn't have set her up like that. But apparently he had.
She inwardly spazzed, and turned to leave only to trip on her own shoes and go sprawling. As the waitress moved to see if she was okay, and several other people in the restaurant stared, Ray started laughing. She struggled to figure out a way to stand modestly, and then finally succeeded.
She moved over to her table and stood at it, one hand on her hip. "So apparently our siblings set us up. I'm hungry, but I'd rather not stay on the blind date path." she said with more confidence than she felt, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable and bare.
