Julie couldn't help blushing as the others grinned at the hugging pair. When they separated, Harris, Bobby, and Collette introduced themselves, which ...arned Harris and Bobby a hug as well."Thank you for looking out for me, Ms. Wilson," Julie said sincerely. She was careful to speak into Muriel's good ear, which she had warned the others to do as well. Julie only had infrequent conversations with her neighbor across the street, but they always waved and smiled to each other when Muriel was out. "Come on," she said, "you can help me open them. But keep the ribbon, and the paper... and the boxes. And don't get the cards mixed up. Better write down what the gift is on each of the cards, so I can write thank you letters later."The two girls had been working almost an hour opening and recording the new gifts when the telephone rang.Sue, thinking it was Dick, answered it on the second ring."Sue... this is Peggy Martini. Your gown's ready for final fitting. When can you try it on?" I'll come. “Quick,” she murmured.“Had them on standby just in case this happened,” I chuckled.“Time to go have a look,” Morgana replied. “Adsila can get us in.”It was bitterly cold, though, having expected it, we were well adapted to it Adsila had brought us in right at the edge of known Caitiff territory and the area seemed benign enough and well suited to reindeer farming which was the Caitiff’s main form of existence. Our armour blended in perfectly to the surrounding area and you’d literally have to. Speedily, I went into my usual stall, however just as I had put my butt on the toilet another girl walked in and sat in a stall three down from my right. I can remember looking under the stall, she was wearing a pair of Nike trainers and had a pair of black shorts around her ankles. I could actually hear her texting on her phone.I decided to sit it out and wait for her to leave. But instead we both just sat there in silence.We stayed in silence for about ten minutes by which time I was.
