<span style="font-style: italic">Stella has a hell of a lot of explaining to do. She hadn't said anything out loud! He had read her thoughts. He could also probably read Stella's. That does explain maybe partly why he had thought Dylan is Stella's boyfriend earlier. She had been thinking that they would make a cute couple. She wonders just what exactly Stella had been doing in Egypt in order to come across Ari. She lets Stella lead the way into the store.</span><br/><br/>"Brooklyn's is a store where people buy clothes. It's not that big and we should be able to get what we need here." Chaos ensues. Stella and Ashley debate over boot cut vs. flared for jeans. V-neck vs a simple neckline for shirts. They hold up things together to see if they make a good outfit. Make Ari try proposed outfits on. They settle on about four different pairs of jeans and seven shirts and a pair of black sneakers. Purchases in hand, they make their way towards the food court.
