“I can vouch-” Lisa started to speak.
“Taylor can answer for herself,” Brian cut her off.
Well, there went that way out.
I floundered for an answer. I got the distinct impression that they wouldn’t be satisfied if I couldn’t provide one. A knot of ugly emotions gathered in my stomach, building as I felt the condemnation of these people I’d been so close to, not so long ago.
Yeeah, fighting with former friends is not exactly a nice feeling.
Realizing that much gave me an idea. It wasn’t much, though.
I turned to Brian, “You remember when we were on the way to your apartment, what happened?”
“Which? That thing with the bully, or-”
After that… Hm. I suppose that could be a pretty good thing to prove the genuineness of her change of heart, as long as it doesn’t get Brian thinking that Taylor was trying to abuse his trust even more.
Bit of a double-edged sword, I suppose.
“After that. The, um, awkward conversation.”
“Hey, dork,” Alec cut in, “He’s not the only one you have to convince. You can’t omit details and leave us in the dark here.”
Welp, looks like this is about to get a little awkward… they didn’t tell Alec and Rachel (or Lisa, maybe, but I assume she knows anyway) about what happened at the mall, huh? Which means they’re gonna have to do that now of all times.
