What do you mean by "boyish?"

*casually*
You know, all she wears are baggy pants, oversized hoodies... Never a hint of makeup. I'm starting to wonder if she's...you know, maybe into girls?
Sophie (FL's mom/ Director of Design)

Sophie (FL's mom/ Director of Design)
*pauses, then with a final tone*
We'll see. But this is my decision, not yours.
