Grimacing slightly, Syd admitted, "Alright, so maybe I acted a little more positive about this whole experience than I really am. But, at least I don't have to brave it alone!"
She turned back to Lil, smiling at her and hoping the other woman would not change her mind and walk away, leaving Syd to deal with the thrift store all by herself.
