Brandy's bright eyes showed her interest, though she was quiet. I do not know if she was still thinking about her own predicament or if she was politely not interrupting the story. I could tell that her adventure had cheered her up; she probably did not take road trips like that often. I believe she was sincerely concerned about Kali. She seemed to be trying to find parallels between her life and Kali's. Of course, I have always thought myself a bad judge of others’ moods, but I hope I was close that time.
