They silently place a handbraided friendship bracelet in Krissy's palm, made out of multicolored thread, along with a tiny joint.
𝐓𝐖𝐎 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐔𝐏 𝐈𝐍 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐊 𝐂𝐀𝐑 lovingly called BETSY . music pleasantly hummed in the background from speakers that may need to be replaced ( she couldn’t BRING herself to , oddly ) . crackly static ushered on by vocals could be declared a flavorful touch . her car even sounded like an old betsy . they were remaining sheltered beneath a metal roof away from the thick wall of rain that surrounded them at all angles . sure , they wouldn’t mind getting a little wet . yet there was an unspoken agreement to stay seated . krissy basking in the company of her friend , listening to nature’s noise machine . a SERENE little scenario they were living during in real time . the huntress didn’t have the urge to interrupt something so THEM .
when palm that had previously been dangling off the edge of center console gets gripped & flipped to have it pointed towards the ancient upholstery above their heads , curious gaze swiftly roams over to them . krissy makes no move to question the out of the blue action , but a ghost of a lilt in corner of lips could be seen if one looked close enough . then gifts are placed in the awaiting hand . fluorescent bulbs from building across the parking lot illuminating items & all at once something UNSPOKEN is bonded between them .
it was something so THEM the chambers girl couldn’t hold back a toothy grin as her hand lifted to her face to inspect the bracelet closer . making sure to observe handy craftsmanship , refusing to miss a single detail of looped thread & pattern of genevieve’s hand . ❛ i’ve never had one of these before , ❜ when words leave her throat & hit her own ears , she instantly needs to clarify . ❛ — no one’s ever made me a friendship bracelet . guess i was never cool enough . ❜
a snort comes from her next when she recognizes the NEXT thing , picking it up between two fingers . ❛ how about i make you a deal . we share this tonight , IF you help me put this on . DEAL ? ❜ of course krissy would have shared with them anyway . then as their arms reach over to assist , eyes soften . ❛ thank you , viv . i love it , & i’m never taking it off . ❜
