Petal felt this was the best time to share her secret with Sally.
----------------------
"Uh, Petal what are you doing?" Sally asked, with her eyes wide.
"This is my secret, I spend a lot of time naked. I wait till the middle of the night and I stand in the halls naked, sometimes I though go and read or sit on the stairs."
"Why do you do this?" She asked, "I'm not judging though."
"I'm not sure, I just feel more free." Petal explains.
"Well, you should feel free and good with your body."
"I do."
"You're really pretty Petal, I'm jealous."
Petal smiled, "don't be jealous, you're even more pretty than me."
"I don't believe that." Sally said, dropping her smile.
"I think everybody is prettier than me." She said, not in a sad tone but a tone.
"Oh no honey! Don't say that!" Sally gets up from the bed and wraps her arms around her.
"I think I'm pretty just not AS pretty."
"Well I want you to feel pretty, feel good about yourself...better than you have been obviously." She said, cracking a warm smile.
"You're too sweet to me Sally, why?"
"I just admire you, I see you as a lovely little flower."
"Really?"
"Yes and I know you're a bit younger than me and it might be weird for me to ask but, do you mind if I show you how pretty you are to me?"
"Do you mean.......? Petal grew red in the face.
"Unless you're not comfortable."
"I've only ever been with a man."
"That's alright too, if you're not comfortable we don't have to do a thing."
"Well no, I'd always like to try new things, it's how I became a scientist."
"That's bittersweet."
