~Kara's POV~
This dress is so tight... I thought to myself as I wiggled and tried to straighten the dress out on my hip.
"Sure you'll be fine on your own?."Nana asked as she pulled into the Sterling Enterprises parking lot.
"Yeah I guess, thanks again..." I said to Nana.

Thoughts that brought tears to my eyes.I didn't even know I was crying till I felt something tickle my cheek and I sniffed.
