Brooke opened her mouth to say something snappy back to Alisa, but stopped. She closed her mouth and smiled instead, the corners of her raspberry-tinted lips curving up in dark amusement. There were many things she could have done here - used her powers on Alisa to make her feel horrible; used her powers on the manager to entirely ban Alisa from ever stepping foot in Bendel again...the possibilities were endless.
