Ah yes, the temptation to spend more because you like everything in the store. It's not something easy to disregard - after all, this is what these huge shopping chains build their empires on. They are betting you won't be able to help yourself.

As for trying to bring her to Hive, it's no good forcing. People need to see a spark, a special something in this opportunity. If they only do it because you told them, chances are they won't like it.

I hope your friendship takes the right course it's meant to be on, whatever that may be :) Thanks for sharing!
