Re: Holly + MJ: moving into Clary House
[The girl was pretty, MJ thought, but, like Holly, that was kind of just how it was in Repose, with a few exceptions. She reminded MJ of girls she saw around in Queens, just with way less hairspray. She didn't look smooth or rich or whatever, austere in the way even Gwendy could look. No, she looked like someone who'd probably come up poor. There was a little bit of something there, in her dark eyes, fear or something, but MJ couldn't quite pick it out. She just knew the girl probably wasn't as comfortable as she looked, and she got that. She wasn't either.
But, MJ was an extrovert and she liked people, and she really didn't want to be in her room just thinking about Jason or Harry or whatever. So, this was way better. She smiled, looking at her glistening nails.] Thanks, Holly. I have more, if you want gold. [She stepped back up the first step, ready to lead the way.] Yeah, Destiny has a pig and a hedgehog and... a dog, I think? [She smiled.] She lives on the bottom floor here with her little brother. The rest of us are upstairs. Which right now is just Matt and me, I think. [She beckoned the girl with her glittering nails and started he way upstairs.]
