<div style="text-align: justify;">"You're welcome", Amy replied, smiling back at Gloria. She was really happy to have Gloria around. Even though she had just met the other girl, she felt as though they had been friends for ages. And she definitely hoped that they would remain friends for a long time.<br/><br/>At the shoe store, the elderly man smiled at Gloria when she said it was nice to meet him. She seemed like a good girl, just like Amy was, he noticed. It was good that the girl had made a friend, as she had been pretty lonely since coming to Hollywood. "It is nice to meet you too, child", the man replied in a friendly intonation.<br/><br/>He then nodded when Gloria gave him her size and name. "Very well, I will be sure to inform you when we have something new that fits", he promised, making a note that she was Amy's friend.<br/><br/>Once his note was made, he gestured towards a small door. "You know where to go, dear", he told Amy. "Just bring back whatever you girls like", the man completed.<br/><br/>Amy nodded with a smile. "Thanks, Grandpa Joe, we will", she replied, motioning for Gloria to follow. "Excuse us, please", she murmured before leading her friend through the door.<br/><br/>The romm the door lead to was small, but neat and tidy. It was fit with a few shelves at the walls, and each shelf was full of shoes. Amy explained to Gloria how things worked. "He charges from two to ten dollars, depending on the type of shoes. I rarely spend more than five, as I can't really afford much, but all of the shoes here are gently used", she explained.<br/><br/>After her explanation, Amy looked around. "I would advise you to take a pair of heels, preferrably black, and something else for everyday life", she suggested, looking around at the shoes and hesitating a little with a pair of red high heels right at eye level. It was as though she was debating even trying them.</div>
