With Olga's help, the crutches were put into their position in her underarms. Ellie braced herself expecting to tetter or fall on her tailbone again. But strangely it felt like she was swaying a bit from wearing training wheels on her bicycle. It was manageable as she took her first couple steps without assistance. These crutches helped her balance immensely. She could walk back and forth without feeling too winded as she had some great support. It was nice to move as she pleased so for a bit she did so. 

As she no longer had to watch herself, Ellie turned her attention to her beautiful done up friend who seemed saddened by something.

Her eyes were rapidly reddening as Ellie noticed her mascara rivets. Ellie was dumbfounded. "Olga did you come all the way here because something happened? Is everything ok?"
