And her fingernails. I still remember her fingernails because I thought they were so beautiful. Were they really long? They were probably fake. They were very long. But she was very sweet to me, too. That's nice. Yeah, she spoke to me. I feel like she spoke to me about an hour alone. I think it made me feel adult. Yeah. Probably.
