She truly didn’t think Alice was right about Sloane as Sloane herself had made sure Sisse felt every inch the smaller person after their conversation, but she also didn’t think herself entirely at fault either. Perhaps Sloane would never be the close friend that Alice was, perhaps she had been wrong to believe all friends would share the silly girl drama as she did with Alice. But she didn’t want to change getting into the details of it all. “Maybe.” Sisse agreed, biting the inside of her lip as she refrained from adding anymore. Hopefully this would all blow over in a few days, although in truth Sisse wondered if it would ever be mended.
