<div style="text-align: justify;">Amy still felt a little bit ashamed of her previous bitterness. She didn't want Gloria to be upset and not want to be friends with her again. She didn't want to make her friend feel less hopeful either. All she wanted was to help Gloria and encourage her. Luckily for Amy, Gloria was a good person and didn't seem inclined to hold her brief moment against the girl. And now, they would get to go shopping together, which was always fun. For now, they had to shop at thrift stores, but in the future, Amy was sure, they would be able to buy on brand stores and have the best clothes.<br/><br/>After shaking Gloria's hand on their deal, Amy introduced her to Mrs. Smith. Amy liked the woman a lot, as she always made sure to let her know when something new that she might like reached her hands. She couldn't make much of a discount, but separating special pieces for Amy was already a great favor.<br/><br/>The woman smiled at Gloria's words and nodded. "It's a pleasure, dear. Make yourself at home. Amy will help  you find your way".<br/><br/>With a smile, Amy excused herself and led Gloria upstairs. Up on the attic-like space, she pointed at the boxes. "The prices are outside the boxes. You should look for at least two nice dresses, one or two skirts and a few nice blouses, as you can compose some outfits this way", she advised, already starting picking through the boxes, until she found a blue dress. "This one looks like it fits you", Amy commented. "Do you like it?", she asked, holding out the dress to her new friend.<br/><br/>While she waited on Gloria to make up her mind, Amy shook her head. "Mrs. Smith used to let anyone come in here without her, but some people started stealing from her, can you believe it?", she commented with a shake of her head. "I have no idea how people can do this kind of thing, I know my mom would have my behind raw if I even thought about anything of the sort", Amy stated, picking out another dress, a light purple one. "Maybe this one would fit you too", the girl suggested.</div>
