Chapter 13

Audrey & Thinl Person

Audrey's POV

I settled onto the bench across from Avis, the sounds of the cafeteria around us fading into a dull hum. My tray of dry pasta and vegetables hardly felt appetizing, and I rarely ate in the cafeteria anyway- but I had forgotten to pack my lunch today. Not that I minded Avis's company

"Here's that design I was telling you about." Avis said, sliding a paper across the table. "It's not finished, but........"

I took the paper and turned it over, my breath catching as soon as I saw the sketch. It was a beautifully tailored two-piece set, a matching top trousers with a hat as well, all drawn in Avis's signature style. "Avis," I said, "this is fantastic."

The mousey blonde's checks reddened beneath my gaze. "You.. You really think so?" she whispered.
