Imagine Carl taking Grace to get a suit because he doesn’t own one and needs to have one just so he doesn’t look like a total slob at a press event. They go to one of the nicer department stores. The kind where they have a full sized grand piano and hire a pianist to play it on weekends…. During the fitting the tailor off handily says “are you registered anywhere yet?” And it takes Grace a second but he realizes the tailor thinks he and Carl are getting married!
Grace goes all pink and starts stammering something about how he’s “kind of focused on my career right now.” The tailor laughs and advises him not to “take too long…” Grace nods and they finish the fitting session in an awkward silence. The alterations will be completed in 2 days and they arrange to have the tailored suit couriered to the hotel. Grace is super fidgety in the car ride back but once they’re back in the hotel room he’s all over Carl. Carl is a bit confused (not the he’s complaining!) Clearly he needs to take Grace out shopping more often.
