Karyn wanted to shake her head. It was so nice here, after all. But there was that strange feeling that was telling her to stay - no, go deeper into her wardrobe - no! it was Sarah's!
"Okay, let's go," she said. The two girls nodded and started for the door. Karyn paused to pick up her purse, but Athena reminded her that anything could be a reminder and therefore tainted. They would work out money if they had to.
Down the stairs they went, quietly. But just before they got to the front door Susan MacMillan spoke from the other room.
"Karyn, darling? Are you there? Need a second of your time."
Karyn and Athena stared at each other, worried. Athena urged Karyn to open the door, but she couldn't move. Her mother - no! not her mother _
- needed to talk to her.
"In the foyer, mom," Karyn said in a chirpy voice. She then out her hand on her mouth.
Athena glared worriedly.
"I don't know why," Karyn mouthed as Susan walked in.
Both girls paused. Susan Macmillan was wearing a single one piece swimsuit, high cut and very shiny. It was covered in small spiralls, some of which were right on top of very intimate spaces. The suit hugged and enhanced her curves. Her arms and legs were shiny, laddered with suncream, and on her head was a white widebrimmed hat.
"Oh, you going out with..." Susan's mouth twisted. She nodded at Athena.
"My name's Katheryn, Miss MacMillan." Athena interjected before Karyn could way anything.
"Yes, mom. Just... Going out. Shopping. Kath here asked me for.... for help. With her looks!"
Susan nodded. "Okay, but before you do that, can you tell me what you think of the this?" She said, hands dancing down her body as if to display jewellery.
The two girls blinked, eyes following those arms down Miss MacMillan's frame.
"What do you think?"
"It... It is different." Athena said.
"It is eye catching."
"Right? You think it looks good on me?"
"Yes." The two said at once.
"So, you think it is something nice to look at? I think it makes me look in command."
The two girls blinked. "It... It kind of does." Athena managed. "I mean... I mean it is hard to take my eyes off of it."
"Indeed. And if you can only look at the spirals on my body, then I am in command, right? If you can't look away, means I have the control."
