<blockquote>Beni can always guess which ones are going to be the most expensive. If the girl had sprung for the keepsake rig—the plastic liner and the marbleized cardboard longbox to avoid creasing the bodice—that one was going to be pricey. It was also going to be ugly, in almost every case. Tacky keepsake box means tacky dress: beading, lace, those tiny cunting buttons all the way up the back. The bitch with that box is going to be bitter and tearful, saying something like “so much for my happy ending,” as she rips off the lid to show you. The dress will have come from David’s Bridal or some mall prom outlet with fake flowers on a plastic trellis masking stained acoustic tiles in the ceiling. Beni passes all those boxes right on by. He lifts his perfect brows and doesn’t even look.</blockquote>
