“sure, sounds fun!” she grinned. olivia had never felt as comfortable with scarlet as she has with her brother or miles, but she was hoping they could still be friends especially since she needed more girlfriends. “good, i don’t think i could drive all the way to the mall in these shoes without getting blisters.”
