“Nope,” Crystal answered dismissively. Carley paused and gave a sigh. “I think somebody’s stalling,” the Amazon woman said in a sing-songy voice.
“Am not!” Carley said.
“Are too!” Crystal quipped. “Prove it, then. Do you want to be my Little baby doll or not?”
Carley paused. “I…um…” she could hardly think straight.

She tried to think of the downsides. Wasn’t she extremely apprehensive about this earlier? Now she just couldn’t think of a reason to be worried at all.
