The blonde chewed on her lip. It seemed like she was waiting forever for her to get just a yes or no answer. Maybe it was too unfair of her to ask her this but Yvette deserved the fun as much as Mary did. When had either of them actually left Brewster. She glanced over her shoulder at Callum and was happy to see he was too busy to see what they were plotting. Well, what she was trying to plot.
When Yvette suddenly moved, Mary took notice. She grinned at her friend. She seemed to lose all fear in that moment and be triumphant as she responded. 'Letās go', she signed in her hand, standing up. She put the brownie back in the box so they could eat it on the way and took Yvetteās hand. She led her outside with their box of goodies. She didnāt bother straightening the chairs, more work for Callum since he seemed to want to be an ass that day.
Mary paused at the street, looking both ways for them before she led them over to the apartment building. She opened the door, letting Yvette go ahead of them. She took her time with the stairs for Yvette, no matter how much she was dying to get there. Would Callum be mad that she went off with another man? Would he even care? Did Liam actually like her in more than just a friendly way? She didnāt know but she wanted to.
When they reached his apartment, she knocked in a playful way, if there was such a thing. She took Yvetteās hand again and gave it a gentle squeeze, hoping to convey how excited she was with just a simple gesture. Even though communicating with Yvette was sometimes harder, Mary always felt like Yvette understood her the way no one could.
Mary didnāt exactly know who this āfriendā Liam planned on bringing but she did trust him. If he trusted this person, she didnāt have a reason not to. Then again she wasnāt just going to leave her friend stranded. She was too protective of her to do that.
Suddenly before they answered the door, Mary turned to her friend and told her. 'If you are scared or anything tell me and we will stop. I will not let anything happen to you.' She reached out and gave her friend a hug. She had been lonely over the years but Yvette had been there for her. With her friendās disabilities, she couldnāt imagine what Yvette went through on a daily basis. She wanted her friend to feel and be safe.
