The rest of the story came tumbling out slowly, giving Elsie a more complete picture of what had happened. "Sounds reasonable, you trust Mr. Fisk, you care about him," The pair were quite close, not entirely unlike her and Tyb before things got serious. It wasn't anything she wouldn't have done in the same situation.

As Penny buried her face in her hands, Elsie chuckled quietly to herself; this was exactly how she would have been a few years ago had the situation come up, but now she knew better. "I'm sure poor Mr. Fisk is far more embarrassed than you could ever be. It's really not a big deal if you don't want it to be. Give me the book." Elsie motioned for her friend to pass it over with an outstretched hand.
