Anthea handed Karen a mug of steaming coffee and sold firmly. “Mrs. Christensen, when you come over to my place, you’re forbidden from bringing anything with you! Or I genuinely be miffed.”

Karen accepted the coffee, her gaze sweeping around the room before she deftly changed the subject. “By the way, Ann, where’s your mom?”

Karen grumbled, “Ann, aren’t we good friends?”

Anthea grinned, “It’s precisely because we’re not strangers that you shouldn’t bring stuff over.”

Karen’s eyes twinkled mischievously. “Then you’ve got to visit my place too!”

“Deal!” Anthea nodded.
