Brianna turned, sneered, and then proceeded to the taps to rinse her hands.
"So, what would you like me to do, Brianna? I want my friend back so I am willing to go the extra mile for it."
"Okay, two things!"
Shelby kept her smile in place even though she knew that Brianna was trying to be excessive.
"First, Give me your dress, Shelby."
"My dress? Why would you want that?" Shelby was puzzled at that request.
"It's stained with wine…" Brianna added and then said,
"Weren't you the one preaching on doing anything just a little while ago?"
"Ok," Shelby said and stepped out of her clothes, leaving only her bra, and panties while Brianna did the same. Shelby was swift and asked no other questions. Thankfully, Brianna had underwear on this time.
Our FL may appear naive and malleable, but there are such people in this world, who want to see the speck of white in a black dress. These are the people, who try to make things better until they cannot do so anymore.
The kind of people who believe in us even when we don't ourselves.
I believe Shelby will grow in the way that we are all looking forward to... let's give her some time to do so :) ;)
