Gwen decides to help out

Naked or no, Marie was clearly panicking. Gwen couldn't just stand back, or leave and come back some other time! Ringing the doorbell once more to alert Marie, she raised the key - already in her hand - to the lock, inserted it, and turned.

Only now did Marie register the key turning in the lock. She had just pulled out a mop and bucket from the broom closet, right in the hallway, and as the door opened she panicked again, turning to run away and avoid being spotted! Unfortunately for Marie, running with a mop and bucket while stark naked and not paying attention wasn't an easy feat. She made it a couple of steps before the mop head fell off, landing right under her foot and throwing her completely off balance! She fell forward, catching herself on all fours...

...and Gwen opened the door, stepping in to see her best friend from behind in all her glory, legs apart, crawling on the floor and exposing absolutely everything. She blushed, lost for words and dropping the keys from sheer shock.

"M-Marie? Are you okay?"

Marie froze. Was that Gwen's voice just now? Right behind her? She scrambled to her feet, turned, and covered herself with her hands as best she could manage, holding one before her crotch and folding the other across her nipples, hoping against hope that Gwen hadn't already seen everything.

"There was an... um... emergency." Marie managed weakly. "The... bathroom flooded."

Gwen stepped inside, in such a rush that she forgot to close the door, finally averting her eyes. "Right. Um. Do you... have anything to wear?"

Marie thought of the robe, left behind in the kitchen. To get it, she'd have to squeeze past Gwen and head out to before the windows, and she was suddenly very conscious of how naked she was.
