Auntie Daisy

Valerie walked inside the store, still trying to bring down her t-shirt to cover her nether regions. In front of her, Victor spread his arms for a hug as he said cheerfully "Guess who's here!"

Valerie was startled when the woman behind the counter almost screamed in surprise. A smile appeared on her face as she briskly walked towards Victor before enveloping him in a giant hug.

"Auntie Daisy!", said Victor. "It's so good to see you again!"

Valerie looked at the woman. She looked at least ten years older than Victor, with subtle wrinkles visible behind her giant glasses. Her hair was tied in a strict knot, and she was dressed conservatively in a blazer and skirt. Yet, she had the youthful air of someone almost twenty years younger, her smile radiating warmth and happiness.

"Well well well, look who's here!", she beamed at Victor. "You finally remembered old auntie! It's been ages since I last saw you! What have you been doing? Are you eating well?". She fussed over Victor while he seemed almost flustered at the attention. Valerie couldn't help but suppress a laugh, considering how self-assured and confident he had been only a few moments ago.

After a few more pleasantries, Victor finally managed to interrupt her. "Um, Auntie, I would like to introduce you to, uh, Angelica.", he said, pointing towards Valerie, who until now was quietly standing unnoticed in a far corner of the room.

"Hi.", smiled Valerie weakly, as she waved with one hand while keeping the other firmly over her crotch.

Daisy seemed surprised at what she saw. She quickly walked towards Valerie with concern in her eyes. "Oh my god, dear, are you okay? Where are your clothes?"

"I-I'm okay." Valerie stumbled as her face turned red, before quickly making up a story. "We were, uh, swimming in the river, and someone stole my clothes."

"Ah, to be young.", Daisy laughed. "Don't you worry dear, I'll get you something to wear."

She turned around to face Victor. "You, mister, are in trouble. You didn't offer this young lady anything to cover herself on the way here? You were taught better manners!"

Victor turned red. "Y'know, it wasn't that far. I thought..."

"I'll deal with you later.", she responded strictly, shutting him up.

She turned towards Valerie, her voice gentle. "Come with me, dear."

She led Valerie by her arm, past Victor and inside the back room of the shop.
