Madeline knocked on Briar's door. She called, "Briar, you there?"
The door opened, revealing Briar, who looked better than usual.
"Hey," she greeted, her voice raspy from all the crying.
She shot Madeline a look, wondering why she was dressed for a date. Well, it wasn't easy to tell but Madeline didn't usually dress up like this.
Briar came to her senses.
She gasped, her voice sounding a bit different than usual although she seemed happy for her friend.
"He asked you out," she said aloud, adding, "You're going on a date."
Briar had finally accepted the truth. Well, it wasn't really like she had accepted Indiana's death just like that. She was just… in higher spirits because she had been visited by a certain someone in her dreams.
