Mercedes was looking over sheet music for the solo she was presenting in glee when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned her head to be face to very close face with Sugar. "Girl, have you heard of personal space?"
"I love your hat, where did you get it?"
Touching the leopard faux fur trim, she said, "A friend of my grandma's makes them, so she ordered it for my birthday."
"Do you think he could make me a dozen by my party?"
"That's next weekend!"
Sugar blinked. "But I have money."
Mercedes shook her head. "Keep dreaming, girl."
