The girl was almost 15. She wore black lipstick, a miniskirt, combat boots, and she bristled with spiky black and silver jewelry. The mother was dressed in the ubiquitous yoga togs of the middle-aged suburban female.

Other shoppers looked up as the two stalked in; the girl could feel their eyes following her as she went past heaps of flowers.
