Adrienne took out a pair of two-piece suit from the bag she brought with her when she first went to her friends’ room. Now that she’d relieved herself of Troy’s chains, and Kimberly had just shown her that she is not entirely prudent like she appeared to be, Adrienne thought that there’s no harm in wearing a perfectly decent two-piece suit.
