How many times has Inevitable Destiny found me tangled up in “or else” circumstances.
Talk to, or never talk to. Go to, or never go to. Head up, eyes down. Always skirts, never pants. High heels, not flats and never tennis. Help with this, never with that. V-strings, not bikinis. Lengthen all your hair, shorten all your skirts.
Fashion, age appropriateness, friendships, manners, and personal comfort be damned.
Or else.
