In a daze, the slender woman approached them. Perhaps it was because the floor was too slippery, or maybe it was because her high heels were too high, as she stumbled just in front of Jaylene, almost falling to the ground.
Instinctively, Jaylene reached out and grabbed her hand, waiting for her to steady herself before saying, "The floor is slippery, be careful. Also, don't wear high heels so high when shopping, okay?"
Jaylene looked at the girl's high heels and felt a headache coming on. They must be at least four inches high, right? They would be suitable for attending a banquet, but not for shopping, which would be a self-imposed punishment.
"Thank you!" Hazel Hoffman thanked Jaylene, then looked at her flat shoes with envy and said, "I envy tall girls like you; even without high heels, you're still taller than me with my heels on. Sigh."
