TO SAY ALICE WAS NERVOUS WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. Eddie had left after finishing his pretzel and took all the shopping with him so that Alice could talk to Maeve alone.

Alice followed Maeve out of the mall silently. She felt like everyone's eyes were on her as she walked and it was nerve-wracking. It didn't help that she knew her old friends and Stella's possible new girlfriend was there and Alice felt like they were watching her from wherever they were even if she couldn't see them anywhere.
