Thanks be to EBT.
"I can't believe you waited this long to find a dress, Angie."
Bella's making that face she always makes when she's trying to be mad but can't.
We're sitting here laughing as Alice goes from one side of the store to another, trying to find a dress that the three of us can agree on for me to wear to prom. She's on a Jasper high, so she has all the energy in the world.
"Ben called me this afternoon," Bella whispers. "He's nervous about prom. He says he doesn't want anything to go wrong."
"He's… sweet," I say, not bothering to hide my smile.
"So, what's the issue?"
"What's the issue with what?" you ask, popping up out of nowhere.
You sit on the other side of Bella and immediately hold her hand.
"Why Angie won't make it official with Ben. What are you doing here?" she asks you sweetly, though obviously confused.
You innocently smile, but before you can answer, Alice comes running up.
"Found it!"
