Ivy Holden pinched Clementine Chambers's cheek and chuckled. "Look at you, your face is as pale as a sheet of paper. Go sit down, have some water, and take a moment to recover."
"Eden, you're the best. You're like a real sister to me," Clementine Chambers said gratefully, giving Ivy Holden a hug.
"You know, that suddenly reminds me of a saying—"
"Oh? What is it?" Clementine Chambers thought Ivy Holden was about to share some profound words of wisdom and waited for her to continue.
Ivy Holden replied with a perfectly straight face, "The girls who can't open their own bottle caps are all married. The ones who can are still opening them by themselves."
"...I feel like I'm not smart enough to get that." Clementine Chambers raised a hand and scratched her head.
"Now you can change that saying to: 'The girls who were too scared to cross the old plank road are already married...'"
