Marianne.
Yes Lark? Turn. Look. See. Oh God. Come here. Embrace. What's wrong?
Everything. I— He— I can't— What— I just don't know I can't take it.
Hush honey, it's alright, I'm here for you.
She cried until she had nothing left. She cried over him, over all the boys, over what they had lost.
Thank you, Marianne, for everything.
It's nothing. You're my best friend, after all.
But still. You've been so good too me. Everyone here has.
Of course we have. Haven't you seen the effect you've had? Look around you. This place is getting better everyday. Less girls are stripping. More customers are respectable. You are slowly turning this trashy strip club into a classy place.
No I haven't. It's still trash.
Not yet, but it's already changing. And it's thanks to you.
How? I can't do anything right!
Yes you can. Everyone here knows it.
Piper had a few more tears slip down, this time from happiness.
Marianne?
Yes Lark?
You'll be seeing a lot more of me.
Marianne smiled, and the two embraced.
