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.”

“Deal!” Anthea nodded.
