"Last time we talked through the phone, Tegan mentioned the hospital got this verified batch of diet pills. Wanna check it out with me tomorrow?"

Sipping her Coke, Stella gave Susanna a once-over, "Why would you need that?"

She was not even close to overweight!

"It's for my cousin. He's hit 200 pounds and is pretty much on the brink of depression over his weight."

Stella shrugged, "Sure, why not."

Walking over and seated, she pulled out a receipt from one of the shopping bags, and got momentarily stunned as her eyes glazed over the payment account.
