Kristen was delighted by the suggestion that she get some new clothes with the money Serrin gave her. Shopping was a pleasure she’d never been able to indulge much. Taking care of the practical things first, she bought strong boots and a weatherproof reversible jacket and pants that looked like they’d last more than one winter. Then they ended up among racks and racks of lingerie, which was the only place she could buy any underwear, and Kristen was glad Serrin couldn’t see her blush. It was one good thing about not being white.
