"I don't care." Nancy wracked her brain for something nice to say about Ned's new girlfriend. "I'm sure Deidre will be good for him."
"Really?" Bess asked skeptically. "I don't know about that… I've seen them around town, and I gotta say, it's very weird. She's all… clingy."
Nancy felt a slight ache in her heart. "Is that so?" She sighed. "Well, good for them. Ned won't have to worry about his girlfriend not having time for him anymore."
"That's… true I guess," Bess admitted. "Nancy?"
"Hmm?"
"You're awesome. If I were a guy, I'd totally date you."
"Um… thanks?"
