Libby witnesses the sexual abuse of her new friend, Angie, who implores Libby to keep it a secret. Tormented by feelings of guilt and betrayal, Libby nevertheless realizes that a real friend would expose the truth. Cumbie dramatically depicts Angie's defiant behavior and Libby's inner turmoil and provides a plausible resolution to the story.
