Then what?
-She's tense, and getting teary-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I'll— I promise to do what you want. Just— just don't be mad. It hurts.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Um... but... then she'll hate me.
That will just move the problem to someone else.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Oh.
...
...
Okay. Then will you forgive me?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-She goes out-
-To the mall-
-Spending what little money she has on the make-up-
-Accidentally brings some of the sample bottles up to the cashier, who corrects her-
-And then spends the next two minutes reassuring her that it's okay, before having another clerk help her find the proper make-up-
-She's asked if she wants it wrapped, and nods, watching fascinated as the lady goes to work in putting it into a neat little package-
-She takes it back, holding her present out to Maddie-
