Acting on pure reflex, Scarlett reached out and grabbed the younger girl by the shoulder. “Hold up.” She pulled her slightly back to stand by her side. She had to resist the urge to grimace at realizing that, for the first time in a long time, she was the responsible one in the situation. She was the one being less impulsive—the one actually thinking things through before diving into a fight. That felt kinda wrong. And made her feel slightly old.
And damn, maybe she was getting old. She was definitely older than Molly, so.
“I can’t believe I’m actually about to say this but—” She paused, glancing around for Molly’s group but finding no one. Where the hell were they?! “How about we think this over a little more before jumping into a fight? I’m sure that friend of yours won’t like it if we end up in a mess.”
