Tania told herself.
As she took another glance at her distraught friend, she firmly reassured her belief.

With fear clinging to her like a limpet, she tried to break the ice and say something that could make Adda smile again. She always felt fuzzy and warm when Adda smiled radiating happiness.
"Um… Is ya' home close? Maybe… uh we could… I mean if it's not too far next time I wanna see your house, I'm sure it's fancy and all."
By the bits Adda had told her, she knew her family was far richer than hers. For instance she lived in an actual house and went to a private catholic school. And, even if that tranquil place was unknown to Tania, she could tell it was plenty of wealthy families. She wished her words made Adda start talking a bit more about her family. She wanted to be closer to her, to fully understand her.
