Admittance and acceptance

Penny panicked while looking at Nina incredulously. No one could fault her since this was the first time Nina apologized for something! And based on the look on her face, Nina did seem genuine!

What was going on?

Again, Penny couldn't help but wonder if she was teleported to a parallel world or if was she daydreaming. This didn't make sense to her!

Nina forced a smile despite the growing shame in her heart. "I just learned that because it's something I'd do. So, I… I suspect others to do it as well."

'Uh… this is bad,' Penny told herself. 'I'm starting to believe her.'

"It's alright, Penny. Just hear her out. Who knows? She might mean this!" the angel on Penny's shoulder encouraged kindly, but the devil on the other side whispered into Penny's ears, "Don't forget everything she's done until now, Penny. This girl is manipulative. It's probably another of her schemes!"
