<div style="text-align: justify;">Sissy was pretty uncomfortable, but it was mostly due to being inside a house she had never gone to. All of the pictures of Shane’s deceased ex-girlfriend weren’t helping, though. Diane had been so pretty, Sissy couldn’t help but feel a little insecure. Trying to force herself to be rational, Sissy told herself that Shane had chosen her, not a girl that looked like Diane. <br/><br/>When Shane smiled, Sissy smiled back and tried to relax. Everything was fine, she had to repeat it a few times in her mind before relaxing a little. <br/><br/>Knowing that Diane’s mother would allow her to help with the packing made Sissy feel better. She would still get to be helpful, and wouldn’t have to keep looking at the pictures of Diane all the time. Accepting the woman’s invitation, Sissy murmured a soft ‘excuse me’ before entering Barbara’s bedroom. <br/><br/>She was working on getting  a suitcase to the bed and opening doors and drawers so Diane’s mother could choose what she wanted to take. Standing by the bed, Sissy prepared to fold and tuck in whatever the woman wanted to take, letting the choosing to be made by Barbara. <br/><br/>Listening to them talk about Oscar sparked Sissy’s curiosity. She wondered if Oscar was a pet, as it sounded. Hearing that he was a cat made Sissy smile.  “Not at all, I <span style="font-style: italic">love</span> cats! And dogs, and anything else!”, she replied with her almost child-like enthusiasm.<br/><br/>Sissy was dying to go see the cat, but decided she would help Barbara and then she would get to meet Oscar. “Well, let’s get going, right?”, she asked in a lighter intonation. “The weather there is pretty much the same as here, and our house is pretty secluded, despite being close to all the neighbors, so feel free to choose whatever you want”, Sissy added, to put the woman at ease. It was true they were at a higher end neighborhood, but Sissy wanted Barbara to relax and feel comfortable.</div>
