Abby's response is a flawed and rather eccentric curtsy. A little too ADD for the grace, but the intent was there. She can tell that somewhere in that was approval, even if a little teasing to the tone.
Which leaves Abby to roll her situation around in her head. She's lost the four people in the world that matter most to her, but she's gained a degree of freedom in the same moment. "So- I lose my entire life, but I get an EZ pass to new friends and magic? Not the worst deal."
Not the best deal either.
There's a sliver of desire, to share, what her deal is. Julie has been very nice, but it's a secret she hasn't shared with her best friends. She'd need a lot of alcohol to let Ginny or Norah know, and practically be blacked out to share it with a stranger.
Still, Abby knows better than to lie outright. Nothing more obvious than an 'its nothing' or an 'I'm fine.' She'll just- couch the issue. "I'm sixteen and never had a boyfriend. I know it's just to get measures so the outfit looks exact. But my friends are the only people I've let get that close to me. Is all."
