Carley obediently got back in the car seat and let Crystal buckle her in. She cringed a little bit thinking about what she was wearing, but it wasn’t that bad. She did enjoy the extra attention she was getting from her friend in this state in spite of herself, and it’s not like she went into any of this without having some idea of what to expect. She lay back in her car seat and let out a gentle sigh. Crystal started laughing.
“What?” Carley asked.
“You look so content. You haven’t put up a real fight since we left the store,” Crystal said.
“Do you want me to fight you?” Carley asked.
“Every Little fights. I’m guessing it’s easier for you because you know this is all just pretend. Plus, you did have some extra help with feeling calm.”
“What are you talking about?” Carley asked.
