Alice: fidgeting with her skirt I-I’m worried about Lily. She’s too trusting.
i walked up to Alice and snuck up behind her and stared
turns around quickly, eyes wide Oh! Grace, you scared me! Can't a girl have some privacy?
what are you doing in here? I asked her
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Well, I'm here because... I wanted to talk to you about something important. It's about Lily...
stutters Well, you know how Lily can be a bit naive sometimes, right? And um, I just worry that someone might take advantage of her innocence.
i laughed a bit Lily innocent? she’s one of the most innocent people I know…
blushing, looks down I-I know, Grace, but... I just can't help worrying sometimes. She's my little sister, and I want her to be safe.
I gave her a soft smile I know she’s your sister, but you don’t need to worry so much about her. she’ll be fine.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Grace, thank you for understanding. But I don't think just being fine will cut it anymore.
well then what do you suggest?
gathering her thoughts, speaks with determination I suggest we establish a plan to keep Lily safe.
k-keep her safe? I raised an eyebrow
Yes, Grace! We need to ensure that no harm comes to Lily. I've been thinking about it all night, and here's what I propose:
starts pacing back and forth, gesturing with her hands Okay, so first, we need to make sure she has proper security at home.
Exactly, Grace! That's why we need to hire a trusted security service to keep watch over her house.
I don’t know… that sounds expensive…
quickly pulls out her phone and starts searching for security services Don't worry, Grace, I've already found a reliable service that won't break the bank.
really? I raised an eyebrow
waves her phone in front of Grace Look, I found a company that specializes in providing affordable security solutions. They have great reviews and offer a variety of plans tailored to your needs.
Grace decides to look into the security company Alice recommended, feeling reassured by their options for keeping Lily safe.
after looking into the company, I decide to sign up for their premium plan which includes 24/7 monitoring, emergency response, and a security detail for Lily
claps her hands excitedly Wonderful, Grace! You've made the perfect choice. With this plan, we can ensure that Lily is protected at all times.
I smiled I think Lily will feel a lot safer now…
grabs Grace's hand excitedly Absolutely, Grace! Lily will be surrounded by a safety net like never before.
I know she’ll be very happy to hear this news… I smiled she’s working on a project at home right now
eyes lighting up with excitement A project? Tell me more, Grace! What kind of project is Lily working on?
she’s making a new robot… for me
gasps in amazement Oh my goodness, a robot? Lily's building a robot? That's incredible!
yeah… she’s really smart… I’m so lucky to have her as a little sister… I smiled warmly
claps her hands together Grace, you have no idea how lucky you are to have Lily as your sister!
mhm… I suppose I don’t I smiled softly she’s very smart but her emotions can be unpredictable at times… she can be very sensitive
nodding empathetically Ah, I understand completely, Grace. It's not easy for someone as intelligent as Lily to navigate their emotions sometimes.
