"Anne, my cousin's getting married, and my mom askedto help pick out a gift. But I've just landed a new project and can't spare a moment. You have a great eye; could yo accompany my mon?" "When?" "Tomorrow." Roseanne replied, "I don't mind, but what about your mom? Is she okay with this?"

Leda laughed, "She'd love to! She says my taste is worlds apart from hers, but you and she see eye to eye. She'd drag you hto be her daughter if she could. What do you say, she's up for it?" "Sure," Roseanne agreed with a smile.
