Irene was stunned for a moment when she realized that the 'thing' he had to do was attend Kasey's birthday party.

"What a coincidence!" she thought. "Ms. Bennett's birthday is on the same day as mine."

Even Mr. Woods will have to come home later!" Mrs. Flores blurted out. "How lucky Mr. Lucas is to catch Ms. Bennett's eyes! Her parents didn't try to stop this which means that Mr. Lucas has a chance with Ms. Bennett."

"Mr. Lucas is handsome, and it's normal for girls to like him!" Irene agreed.

Mrs. Flores glanced at Irene and said, "There's no one else here, so you don't have to be shy. If I were twenty years younger, I would be enticed by his
