Darius touched his date's hair and complimented her on how nice it looked. He told her that he was glad that she had worn it down, and said that he loved how spontaneous and fun she was. Adele was seething inside when she heard this. She felt that Darius was putting her down when he said this, because Darius knew that Adele would NEVER wear her hair down to an event such as this. Adele had spent 4 hours at the beauty shop the day before, and had meticulously wrapped her hair the night before to preserve her style. She even slept sitting up to make sure that she would not have a single hair out of place for this occasion.
Adele complimented Palmer on his suit, and questioned him about where he got it and the designer. She went on and on about how she loved that particular designer, how the suit fit Palmer so nicely, and how the material felt so good against her skin. The more she spoke, the more furious Darius became. Adele was well aware that Darius could not simply walk into a shop and buy a suit off of the rack because of his height. If he were to buy such a suit, he would invariably have to have the suit altered to fit him, which did not always yield the best results. He would never dream of shopping at a "big and tall" shop, because those places simply did not fit his fashion sensibilities. He always had his suits tailor made. He would not give Adele the satisfaction of showing any response. Instead, he turned his attention to his date and showered her with more compliments. The more Darius complimented his date, the more Adele complimented hers, and the more angry they both became.
None of the passengers can pinpoint exactly when the fight began, but what a fight it was...
