Emma
Can you bring my Crocs?
I pause, go to the front closet, and retrieve Emma’s lilac crocs.
Sadie
I have them set out.
Emma
Thanks, Sadie!
Sophie

Emma

Sophie

Emma

Sophie
Kind of hot, right?
Emma
NO . . . not kind of hot. But clever.
Sophie
Which is hot.
Emma
I want to click the link, but I don’t.
