Milly is concerned

Lauren let out a whimper as she hung her head in humiliation, doing her best to fight back tears. She was snapped out of this briefly when she felt two strong arms wrapping themselves around her. Looking up, Lauren saw Milly hugging her with a concerned expression.

"Shh, it's okay, Lauren." Milly whispered, gently rocking her back and forth as she rubbed her back. "You don't need to be embarrassed."

"But look at me, Milly!" Lauren cried, "I'm twenty-four! This is not how a twenty-four-year-old is supposed to look!"

Milly remained silent as she gently rocked the little woman, Lauren sobbing softly into her shirt.

"Lauren," Milly began carefully, "why and when did you stuff your bras?"

"Why do you think?" Lauren muttered, gesturing to her nonexistent chest. "As for the when, I started near the beginning of high school."

"And you've done so ever since?" Milly asked as Lauren nodded in confirmation. The younger and bigger woman lifted Lauren's chin and looked into her eyes. "And you did this so that you wouldn't look immature?"

Lauren nodded again, looking down to avoid eye contact. Milly couldn't help but frown at the sight in front of her, wishing there was something she could do. Her eyes suddenly lit up as an idea popped into her head.

"Lauren," Milly began again as she lead the little woman to her bed, sitting her down next to her, "would I be right in saying that you also stuffed due to stress and pressure?"

Lauren nodded again.

"Well then," Milly continued, "why don't you take a day off?"

"But I'm already on my day off." Lauren responded, arching an eyebrow in confusion.

"I mean, why don't you take a day off from all the stress and pressure from being an adult?" Milly clarified. "You look really young for your age, and I have plenty of clothes from my childhood that my mom gave to me. You can just take a break from being an adult and just be a carefree kid again, and no one would recognize you." She then gasped in excitement as a smile came to her face. "I could even be your babysitter for the day! Just like you used to do for me!"

Lauren looked up at Milly, feeling conflicted. On the one hand, this idea was absolutely insane! Lauren being babysat by her former charge? It was ridiculous! And while she knew that she didn't mean any harm by it, Milly's comment about her looking younger than she was stung. It was because she looked younger that she started stuffing her bra in the first place.

On the other hand, she had to admit the idea did sound tempting. An entire day devoted to doing whatever she wanted and just goofing off, not having to worry about stress, pressure, or responsibilities. Not to mention that she trusted Milly, and she knew that she would do her best to make sure Lauren wasn't recognized by anyone.

Lauren thought about this for a moment, not sure of which to choose. After two minutes, Lauren finally gave Milly her answer...
