As far as Brooke knew, she had no effect over animals. But then she'd never really tested that theory out.
"Thank you," she said. On the surface, it may have seemed as though Brooke was thanking her for agreeing to be her matron of honor. But it was deeper than that. Brooke expected questions, doubts, worry. A short courtship, a quick engagement. It was rushed, even she realized that on some level. But here Stephanie was, taking the surprising news without putting a damper on the occasion.
It was kind of her. And loving.
But they were best friends, and Brooke knew Stephanie. In occasions like this, she wouldn't do the inappropriate thing. It was maybe a good thing that Brooke was just inappropriate enough.
"Stephanie. This must be weird to you. Shocking. Insane. You have to know if there's anything you want to say or ask, I'm not going to be offended. Not by you."
