"That would have been a good idea, yeah," Karla reluctantly admitted. "Or I could just become a better actress and pretend like seeing something like that didn't bother me."

"Well, uh, like I said. I just wanted to say thank you," she added. "And good luck. With everything at home, I mean."

This was awkward. They'd barely ever exchanged words and this was the worst time to try, but Karla owed Cara her gratitude.
